I'm trying to understand your question. Your doctor is asking you to consider a lap VGB? Most people who have a VGB wind up having to have a revision done to the RNY anyway, so my own personal advice would be to save time and go straight for the RNY. My surgeon stopped doing VGB's long ago because their long term effects aren't good. Most people gain the weight back after having a VGB. Do your homework.<br>Good luck!<br>Laura Dear Abarosie,<br><br>Hi there! I’m trying to
