VSGers please read
I posted this on the VSG forum too, just trying to get as much feedback as possible.
Ok, I had a phone consult with Dr. Husted today and I have no concerns about his surgical abilities and overall the call went fine- but I am struggling with one important thing.....the size of the bouget (sp?).
He says he uses a size 42 whether its a virgin or revision sleeve. He further went on to talk about how he aligns it with the anatomy inside (arteries or something). Basically that he doesn't like the idea of doing a sleeve too tight due to getting the hour glass syndrome.
I'm not sure whether I'm going to be able to get past this. I am glad for the 2nd chance opportunity for a WLS and I know Dr. Husted is known for his surgical abilities, but I am very concerned with having too large of a stomach left and the opportunity for re-gain.
Could you share your thoughts please? In particular, what size bouget was used, how much you can eat right after surgery and then later down the road?
