    Great job! I'm just starting my journey...first seminar was Monday :-)

  2. LapBand Forum going away?

    They are doing about 1 band to 9-10 gastrics, my doc said. Sleeves are more popular now because of less long-term complications (port, erosion, slippage) and greater success with a sleeve. Maybe that's why?

  4. Looking at a sleeve. Many thoughts/ questions.

    smiles_22 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    I just started this journey Monday with a seminar. I'm 28, 5'5", and 256.4 lbs. 43% BMI. I have a lot of questions/stressors. Money? They swear it will not pay...but will it pay for some? I've heard both sides. I decided on a sleeve after going to look at a Lapband (band seems less successful). I could easily lose 100+ lbs (goal would be 120-125 gone) I'm worried I'll do this and be able to cheat around it or not get good results. Can someone give me advice? Or calming thoughts. I guess I need a mentor...? Is that how this works? Newbie here. I don't want to live my life a slave to my weight anymore.
