When is it coming to the US

I'm confused? Why wouldn't anyone in the US be offering this type of surgery yet? Or are they? I don't know if I would travel to another country to have some weight loss surgery. What if their were complications? Then what would I do? Have to go back to another country to have them help me?

I wasn't aware that it was not available in the United States. Does anyone know if this is true? If it is true I wonder why they aren't doing it it seems to help so many!

There are lots of places in the US that offer the VGS surgery. I had mine done in a Bariatric Center of Excellence in St Augustine FL. Hospitals all over the US have been given the Bariatric Center of Excellence. I'm sure you can find one near you.

It is important to find a surgeon that you are comfortable with and is an expert with this particular surgery.

I just added a special section here on our forums to discuss the options to get a gastric sleeve surgery in the USA. When I setup the forum categories initially, I added many popular countries but overlooked a special section just for the USA. Now that has been fixed.
