BAND VS. SLEEVE
I had to smile when I seen this. i too went for the band for all of the safe reasons but just at my last appointment I asked my doc about going for the sleeve. i have done GREAT with the band but I am not doing well with the fills and i cant eat meat anymore. note * I * I dont want 100 ppl yelling at me my body no matter how small or how many times i chew it dosnt go down.. i dont miss the meat and i get alot of protein in but I get sick alot and thank goodness it dosnt bother me but i just put in to my insurance to get the sleeve instead... go to meetings and meet the ppl who had both research the heck out of it and pray .... the answer will come to you.... best of luck with what ever you choose ........
