  1. Any one is getting the Band by Dr. Chris in Brussels in December?
  2. Hi guys, What motivated you to have the lap over the sleeve? I have tentative date set for 10 Dec to have the band but still confused and lost. Doctor still think I will do better with the Sleeve and that put me down.
  3. I am just worried that removing part of the stomach might have some complications in the far future and the thought of part of my getting cut is freaking me out. I just need to get over that feeling I guess. Thanks guys
  4. Hi there, I have been doing lots of researches since Aug on the Band and Sleeve. I have seen three excellent doctors where I live in Dubai and each one gave me a different opinion. ohhhhh. my mind was set on the sleeve till I met one of the doctors who convinced me to have the lap. Today I had a second consultation with Dr. Al Taie and he again convinced me to have the sleeve. I am so confused. I have 35 killos to lose (BMI 35) and the main reason is IVF treatment. I am pulling my hair these days and decision has to be taken soon. I have been following the stories on both the vertical sleeve talk and the band talk, there are lots of successful stories on both. I am going crazy here and do not want to regret any decision as I am self pay. Any suggestions based on your experience............so afraid of the idea of my stomach partially removed and feeling more comfortable that lap is reversible
