Much of the research has been leaning towards the band as being subpar to the sleeve and/or bypass. I don't watch the view, but I know Rosie o'donnell has always been outspoken and brazen in her comments.
I think that we shouldn't take offense to her comments, just know that she may have the same information that many of us have seen on the band. I spoke with one surgeon who doesn't even perform band surgeries anymore.
I chose the sleeve for my own reasons and believe everyone is entitled to what they want done with their body. One surgeon told me
I should have bypass, but I knew that that wasn't right for me.
Good luck to anyone that chooses to pursue weight loss surgery as a means to better their health.
