@@doingitforme29 after hearing and reading about all of the problems people are having out of the band was one reason I chose the sleeve. There's been a lot of reports about slippage and erosion. I don't want to loose too much weight just as you, but I know that with my nationalist, I will be able to balance my eating to reach and maintain the weight that I desire. This is because although a person have the sleeve, it's their eating habits and working out that maintains their weight loss. Yes, it makes you less hungry, but at the end of the day, if I choose to override the "I'm full signals" or start eating a lot of the wrong stuff, the stomach can still stretch and the weight can come back. This is what happened to a friend of mine. She had the sleeve, but got extremely comfortable and returned to her regular eating habits. After putting back on a large amount of the weight, she had to start over in making the right food choices and working out more just to get the weight back off. Another reason I chose the sleeve is because it was the safest for me to choose from and it's permanent. Because I've struggled with my weight since I had my son (soon to be 13), I really wanted something permanent.

I started July 8, 2014 beautysleeve559 and I was required the same things that you listed. I pray that I get a fast approval like you did. If I find myself waiting too long, I'll do as you said and call and see what's up. Thanks for the advice. Doingitforme29, I went through that. I was going to try this surgery about a year ago, but had an insurance change. I was going to do the band at first, but after the seminar, I decided to do the sleeve. I heard more disadvantages of having the band than the sleeve. But that's me. If you haven't, do a lot of research before making a final decision. Weigh the pro and cons if you haven't. Keep me posted. Maybe we can support one another.
