Cheers for the advice will have a cruise through.

I don't think that the VSG people in the US have to do anything like that but i am sure your doc has good reasons! Try posting on the VSG board.

For the Brazil option, ask the US forums (main board) - they are geographically nearer and lots seem to go to Mexico for surgery.
Is aftercare an issue for the DS? For lapbanders, not being near your doc for the year post-op would be a big negative. I understand that extensive lab work and blood tests are on-going for DS patients and you would need to make sure you can get those done here if you don't get surgery here.

There are certainly plenty elsewhere but I haven't seen any on here yet.

If you go to the members listing and click on the pages of the folks-you may be able to see. Let me know if you have access to do so. If not-one night this week I will go through and find out for you who has or is going to have DS.
Meantime-feel free to let folks know about it and how you are doing!!!
How are you feeling about your upcoming surgery?? It must seem like it takes FOREVER!!
Peace,
