 VBG – Gastric Bypass
This procedure is a combination of the two most common weight reduction procedures, the vertical banded gastroplasty and the gastric bypass. This technique, vertical banded gastroplasty – gastric bypass (VBG – gastric bypass) has proved to be a very effective weight reduction operation. It combines the strengths of the vertical banded gastroplasty and the gastric bypass. For the more than 1600 patients at the Weight Loss Surgery Center of Hampton Roads who have had this particular operation, the results include an average weight loss of 77% of excess body weight and an average patient weight loss of 129 pounds.
