Revision - Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG)

No doubt you opted for Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) or a “stomach stapling” procedure to actually control how much you consumed. This calorie control method is a procedure that creates a small pouch, of about one-half ounce, in the stomach which transfers food into the lower stomach through an approximately one-half inch fixed outlet. Even though the pouch fills up quickly, it distributes the food at a slow pace in order to make you feel full faster and continue to be satisfied for longer.

Based on long-term studies, Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) isn’t the most effective way to maintain weight loss; therefore it is no longer commonly used. If you have discovered for yourself that VBG has not delivered on its promises we can help by performing a revision.

Revisions to Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) include the following steps:

1. Re-stapling and re-banding
2. Converting to a Gastric Sleeve
3. Inserting a Lap band above the stapling
