I was undecided @ 1st on which procedure to have, the band our sleeve. Finally decided to have the new I-Band. I had a concern of later having to possibly have my gall bladder taken out due to gall stones frm rapid weight loss. My cousin was banded a yr ago, & is now having to get her gall bladder taken out which she says they didn't bother to tell her rapid weight loss causes those problems. However, my dr thinks I already have gall bladder issues & ordered a sonogram. I do have gall stones, & will be having my gall bladder removed the same time I have the I-Band & hernia repair! So excited to have EVERYTHING done all @ once!!!

What is the I-band??? Never heard of that.

Good luck!

I-band is band with plicatiom.
