Vertical banded gastroplasty*NOTE: I had my short-time VBG in September 1983.. None of the early complications were the expected because the doctor caused a gastric leak, and tried to cover it up.
3 surgeries in three weeks.. and in the third.. he had another surgeon slit my throat and divert my esophagus out my neck -NOT a normal procedure.
Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), introduced by Mason in 1982, is now discarded because of important long-term complications and technical difficulties to do revisional surgery.
The rate of reintervention is high. Long-term complication can be severe, especially with gastric stenosis that could lead to esophageal cancer. A second reintervention could be technically demanding, especially by laparoscopy, and the patients should be referred to a specialized center.

Suicide Zen Forgiveness
On this podcast we talk real stuff – the stories of dealing with suicide loss, navigating tough times, and embracing mental health journeys. Elaine, your host, is on a mission to break the silence, kick stigma to the curb, and wave goodbye to the shame surrounding suicide loss and mental health struggles. You know, it’s true what they say – You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. So, let’s start the conversation, open up, and share our experiences. When I was 16, I lost a dear friend to suicide. Little did I know, that tough experience would turn into a valuable lesson. Now, in my late 60s, I’m still learning and appreciating the Best/Worst Gift from Andrea that keeps me going. Join me in choosing life, taking deep breaths, and embracing vulnerability.
