  1. Converting from lapband to bypass...my research...my lapband misery and damage to my esophagus and erosion ...Gerd...made it easy for me to know that cutting 85% of my stomach was not for me...I was initially going for the sleeve but for me bypass is a better option.....by the way my friend had the sleeve performed on her and her daughter 2 weeks apart and she is doing fantastic...everybody needs to do what they feel is right...and go with it.
