I was also confused about what I wanted to go with. I either wanted the lapband or the sleeve. I chose the lapband because it can be reversed and also when getting the gastric, you are taking the chance of being mal nutritioned and also some people have tons of hair that falls out and you loose weight so quick that even if you do exercise you skin will start sagging no matter what. My aunt had gastric, granted she looked good and lost alot of weight, but now 10 years later she has put her weight back on. Lapband you will be able to get fills to maintain your weightloss. No matter what you hear, agree on, or disagree on, just make yourself happy!!!! I really hope this helped and I hope the best for you and your weightloss!

I have been struggling with being obese since I was 15 when my doctor discovered I have hypothyroidism. I just recently been treated with hypertension and acid reflux. My insurance won't cover WLS until I have been an employee for 3 yrs. and 3 yrs. will be June 13th. I can't wait to get started on my weightloss journey and be healthy. I want to prove to my daughters that being obese is not the way to live.
