Lap band or Gastric Sleeve???

I had been to a couple surgeons who only did lap band and this last seminar talked about the gastric sleeve as well. I'm now trying to decide between the two. I know the complications of both....with the sleeve I like that there aren't any adjustments or pb'ing or getting "stuck", but I don't like the idea of how permanent it is. I would love to hear some opinions from others on the topic.

Thanks!!

Kylie

If you go onto the sleeve board you will be able to read the threads from people that are sleeved.Get the info from those with experience.

It makes interesting reading.

I work with a surgeon who did not advise highly on the sleeve due to the higher complications and risks factors. Definitely do your research. I thought I was going for the sleeve too. Changed my mind after reading the stats.
