Has anyone else had the MiniMizer ring put around their sleeve at the time of surgery? I had it done as I'm scared of my new stomach stretching over time - I don't want this surgery to be a waste of time. Can anyone else share their experiences?
Hello Gwynni
You have done the correct thing having the Minimizer Band put on at time of sleeve surgery. I am from Sydney, Australia and it is automatically done now. It never use to be, I think they have introduced over the last 12 months.. I was sleeved back in January 2010 so I am 4 years out and I am going in on the 27th May to have it put on due to stretching of stomach pouch. I am counting the days.
