  1. Hi, I have a date to meet with my surgeon on January 30, 2015. I have been reading and learning as much as I can on the sleeve and feel I am prepared for what lies ahead and am committed to making it successful. However, my family is not feeling the same. They feel the lap band is a safer option for someone my age, 57 years old, and has less of a complication risk. I can understand the concerns of major surgery and leak complications but I am having trouble seeing the lap band as an option. I am not sure why I feel this way and I know I make the final decision but would appreciate any advice or encouragement on either surgery. Thanks. Angela
  2. Anyone from CVMC in Hickory, NC?
