bewell

Thank you RJ, that really helped. Attitude is so much of this effort and success. Can you tell me why you'd do the by-pass instead of sleeve? I'm pretty anxious about having the surgery but do feel I have no choice and will be so limited in my final years (I'm 64) that I will do this fear and all. Also, if I don't my husband is going to be taking care of me in ways that weight loss will prevent. Thank you again, baj

@@bearhugs1975 I had a band placed in 2006, slipped within 24 hours, have had constant problems. gained all weight back and then some. Now considering revision to sleeve. with the sleeve do you feel full or in pain like with the band? Did they have any trouble getting the band out? I'm concerned that I will have a lot of scare tissue over my band because of the slip and 2 surgeries to repair it. Having had so many problems with the band and my age 63, I'm scared. But have to do something.

@RJ'S/beginning read you had complications, considering all you went thru would you still have baritric surgery? With all the paint etc, was it worth it? Thanks
