Anyone regret having the lap band?

Im just beginning the process. I have my first appt with the doctor tomorrow morning, and yes I am excited and nervous. I just cant decide if I want to do the lap band or sleeve?

To be perfectly honest, everyone I know personally, that I have talked to, all love their results and have nothing negative to say....but...in all reality, what are some of the negative things?

Anyone regret having it done?

Thanks

Patty

No regrets..although I'm sure you'll find some. The minor inconveniences of having a lap band far outweigh the major inconvenience of obesity.

Pick the surgery that is best for you. Do your research and make sure you are well informed before you make a decision. Decide what is important to you and what isn't in terms of what you have to live with.

There are positives and negatives with both, so just be well advised, then you can go into this with your eyes wide open. Good luck to you!
