Thanks!

. Great article! Thanks

. I have had alot of people on here share their experiences with the lap band and about 98% of experiences have been not so great. I think I'm pro Sleeve. I just hope my doctor agree. Thanks for sharing

lol thanks for sharing. I have worried about telling people that I had WLS too when I do get it. Unless you actually look into surgery you don't really know what all is involved. People don't realize how hard it is. Basically we are doing all the work. All the surgery does is limit the amount you can eat at one time. But anyway. I'm excited to start this new journey.

Thank you everyone for sharing all of your experiences with me. I'm so excited to start this new journey in my life.

I yoyo dieted for years and after attending the presurgical meeting to determine which type would be best, I chose sleeve. Lapband had too many chances to gain that weight back. And if I was going to spend that kind of money out of my own pocket, I wanted one that I knew I had a fighting chance to lose and keep it off. Thanks! My Seminar is next week. So ready to get started

Thanks. Good luck to you for the rest of your journey

I totally agree! Thanks for sharing

. Thankyou so much for sharing this!

. Thanks!

. That's what I was thinking also. I have been over weight since I was 8. I'm 30 now but I've only been morbidly obese for I'd say 3 years so I'm hoping maybe that will make a difference. Good luck with the rest of your journey!

. That's what I was thinking too! I'm looking forward to exercise when I'm 100 pds less. It's got to be easier. I'm just saying lol

. I agree healthy and being smaller trumps loss skin. I'm just concerned that I'll be just as self conscious about it as I am about being over weight. Just trying to work out all the negatives in my head now so I'll be mentally prepared when the time comes

I haven't decided on with surgery to have yet and I'm sure all WLS can cause it due to speedy weigh loss but I was wondering if 100% of patients has this problem? Would you mind sharing your starting weight height and age? I realize this is personal but I know these must have alot to do with how much loose skin you will have. Thanks:)

. Thanks Alex. I never considered that the sleeve would affect absorption. I'm going to my RA doctor in a few weeks and I want to ask her if she's had any patients do WLS and if so what path they chose. I do have to take immune suppressors to keep my pain and joint degeneration at bay. Great point! Thanks so much. If I can have great results with the band I like how non invasive it is and the fact that it is reversible in case I have an reaction or complication due to my RA.
