  1. I was going to have lap band but after taking to consultant decided on sleeve and booked 25 april at leeds spire with healthier weight. But starting to have doubts about it cos I didn't want anything permeant and I suffer arthritis in my ankle and wont be able to take naproxen after surgery. Which I thought ok I will manage with gel but started to think what if I get riddled with arthritis when I'm older, I'm 53 at moment, but if t it so bad that I need naproxen what then. I know band is not as good as sleeve but its reversible if needs must . Help any advice please think I'm just getting worried bout it as well
  2. I had the same from my step mother who is large she even went to extent of telling me I would die! Needless to say ih her I'm booked in for my op on 25th april cos don't need the negativity
