Check out my stats below. The loss is sometimes a little slower for us

revisional patients, and I'm one of them...but overall I'm a Happy Cat.

Can't wait to hear more about your experiences!

I had a VBG in 1985 and regained all the weight back (what little I

lost). How is the weight loss after a revision to DS?

Hi Terry:

I had a failed VBG too in 1986. Lost about 50 lbs

total and of course, it is back with lots of little

friends. My local surgeon has sent Dr. Anthone my

records and films..... I have everything crosses that

can be crossed that he will accept me as a patient. I

have been doing some research and it seems that those

with VBG revisions to DS do very well. Where do you

live Terry? I am so impressed with Dr. A's

qualifications that I am willing to travel from NC to

CA to have this done.

Lovingly,

Caroline

Thanx ..... I will keep that in mind. One fo the

reasons that I chose Dr. A is that I have family in

So. Calif. that I can stay with post op and no-one in

Ohio.... and I wonder if I could travel immediately

after release from the hospital.
