Vbg gastric bypass revision
The old stomach stapling or VBG had very high failure rates greater than 50%. Gastric bypass can be performed but has increased risks secondary to the scarring you will have in your abdomen. Another option is a Lap-Band which we have performed in VBG patients with great success.
