    Oh, and if you go into www.verticalsleevetalk.com and read their posts, they're almost all positive, unlike here......

    So, I've been doing a lot of research between the band and the sleeve and have come to the conclusion that I'm going with the sleeve.
    The main concern for me is all the complications of the band, the fills, the possible corrosion of the stomach, the leakage, the slips, the PBs, the restriction of food, etc really got me thinking... I went to a new doctor today since I was unhappy with the slow responses I got from them, as well as feeling as tho I was just a cow in line for the cattle call, and spoke at length with a girl there who was trying to get a crossover surgery from the band to the sleeve. She might not be able to get the surgery since her stomach is so damaged from the band.
    After reading statistics....I've decided to go with the sleeve over the band.
