  1. Dilated Lap Band

    ballde commented on testevenson's blog entry in Blog 75127
    I would have to agree with dare301bx. If another procedure is necessary for you....I would consider the gastric sleeve. I am scheduled for the operation on October 8th and am so excited about it. This surgery eliminates the problems associated with band such as food getting stuck. Plus, you avoid the vitamin deficiencies and dumping associated with gastric bypass. My surgeon tells me the results they are getting with the sleeve are incredible...same loss as with the bypass...1/2 to 1 lb per day. In addition, the part of the stomach that generates the hormone which creates hunger is the part that is removed. I am nervous and anxious all at the same time, but I am ready to live again!
