ello John,<br>My name is Connie and I live in
Kentucky. I had vertical banded gastroplasty in 97 and I
have lost 185 pounds. It has changed my life. It is
the less dangerous than some of the surgery
techniques that I had researched. Looked into "Fobi" pouch
and that was not for me, looked into bypass, another
no, then came across this surgery and decided it was
for me and I will never be the same. Be glad to
answer any questions you may have. Good Luck.
