I had my first mini consultation today. I'd had my mind made up for a Gastric Band but the Doctor I saw could only speak of the negatives of the Gastric Band. My only concern with the Gastric Band was that I have quite a physical job where I risk being physically kicked or punched which has the potential to rupture the port. He also mentioned many complications with the Gastric Band. However he could only praise the Gastric Sleeve...so now I'm stuck in limbo as to what to do???

I'm a little concerned that after having a sleeve and losing weight there would be the need for plastic surgery to tighten skin. Does everyone need that or with exercise and hard work can the skin tighten?!? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm looking to have the Sleeve in Cardiff, but privately. Has anyone had this done? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I met Mr Barry at a free consultation at the end of November. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Where'd you have the surgery too? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Meeb. That's awesome news on being back to work after a week. Do you mind me asking what job do you do? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Meeb, I'm in Wales and considering the Sleeve. I'm considering having my surgery in Cardiff Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for all your information. I'm swaying more towards the Sleeve because of how physical my job is and the concerns I have of having a port and getting a kick to the stomach Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
