i was schedled tohave band done on 6/13. Dr. asst told me to have the sleeve instead. said i probably wouldnt need the second surgery. HELP. anyone have advice on the pros and cons of each. I am very confused. I keep getting conflicting information. Banding i could have no sweets or alcohol or bread or rice. is this true. on the sleeve i should be able to have most anything in moderation. what would keep the stomach from stretching backout with the sleeve.

i was set for the band on 6/13 but the assistant told me to have the sleeve done. said i wouldnt have to have the 2nd part of the surgery done. on the band will i throw up or dump? what about the sleeve. i'm afraid the sleeve will stretch back out and i will then need the band anyway. what food, alcohol restriction on each? ive heard no sweets or alcohol on both. then heard to bread,rice etc on band but couldhave on sleeve. im very confused.
