My surgeon agrees, he does not support this or any form of banding, for the same reasons--they usually end up having to come out. Cause it's only been done for 5 years over here ( pretty sure only here for 5 ) I haven't heard much about it. I know of two people that have had it done with so far no issues. But long term no one knows I guess. As I said my surgeon has it as well so I gather that's why he offers it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Because I'm cooking for a family with 6 or 7 and me it makes it difficult to measure what the others willl eat. Some like a shit load more and some like less. If I was just cooking for me of course I would measure. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If some think it's the easy way out who cares... nothing wrong with the easy way out. The only ones that say that are the ones that aren't over weight or have never had a weight problem or don't have issues with being fat.. The easy way out lol... oh lord I had 3 c sections and it certainly wasn't the easy way out like some people may think!... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can't tell how much a restriction should be with or without it. I have no one to compare to with one lol My surgeon has had a sleeve and has he minimiser ring as well. I didn't think to ask him about it. I can eat chicken breast and pork shredded and beef mince ok. I have had mango stuck cause I don't think I chewed it well enough. I'm still trying to work out how it stops your sleeve from " stretching" over time. If there is such a thing. I guess I'm more restricted then others Thank u for replying back Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
