Getting revision from sleeve to MGB. Scheduled with Dr. Ortiz

I am very nervous.  There is not alot of information about the MGB..

that is because it is new and no one really knows what will happen once you have it

Hi

Could you share your experience with the vsg revision to mgb.

I am planning for the same.

Good Luck.

Regards Pedro

doing research right now...I was scheduled for 4 March until I just learned that they are telling me that a RNY is MGB are the same thing.....

It's not the same thing. The MGB is a single anastomosis surgery. It is seldom done, is not covered by most insurance plans because it is considered experimental, and has a poor track record.

Why are you doing the revision? Is it due to a medical reason like severe acid reflux or more weight loss?

Hi,

I would like to learn from your experiences on your revision from vsg to mgb.

I am considering to have a revision as yours, but like to know from persons that has already done.

I have almost regain all the lost weight in my vsg after 10 years.

HOpe you can share with me.

Awaiting your soonest comments

Just in case, my email is: [email protected]
