  19. I rather you be honest. It is a life changing producer. I want to make the right decision. Thank you
  20. I have some concerns now. Have any of you had any slippage? Has your portal flipped over? Or has anyone had the lap band long enough to cause a whole in your stomach? Those are the things that stuck with me all night. Then they brought up the sleeve and it had the same effects but less things could go wrong..lol So I'm unsure if the lap band is right for me. Any advise or any comments do these things happen out the percentage of it happening? Thanks everyone
