 Hi I am new to all of this and I am having a hard time navigating on this site.  My surgery is March 29th and I just recentely started feeling very nervous.  I thought I knew everything there is to know about this surgery and then it was brought to my attention that they do not know the long term affects of this surgery so that scared me and I was hoping to find out if that is true.  Anyone who could help I would appreciate it.

I was also worried about the long term results because this is cosidered a new procedure. What put my mind at ease is that the procedure is really only new in the fact that it is being done as a solo procedure. If I remember correctly, this procedure has been done as a partial procedure for DS for a longer time span.

The reason there are limited studies and longterm results for the VSG is because they cannot use data from the DS. Knowing that the VSG has been around longer than I first realized made a big difference for me and put my mind at ease.

Try to do more research both on the VSG alone and the VSG part of a DS, you should find that it's not as "new" as you think. I think I read that the first recorded DS was in 1986.

Just do enough research on it until you are comfortable with making a good decision for yourself.

good luck to the guys who are having their sleeves next week.
