Did you ever consider the sleeve? How are you liking your lap band? I'm still deciding between lap band and sleeve but have not decided but doctor Riley will be my doctor? How long were you out after surgery From the anesthesia?

He did my lap-band surgery 12/31. I liked him. They get you up and moving pretty quick after surgery.

I didn't consider the sleeve. The lap band was the best choice for me. Dr. Reilly is very easy to talk to so discuss both options with him. Due to insurance coverage, my surgery was at West Houston Hospital instead of the True Results office. Everyone there was great!! I was up and walking within an hour of getting out of recovery. Everything is going good. I still feel like I can eat a lot but only allow myself to eat 1 cup of food. I go Monday for my second fill. Hopefully, I will get to the green zone soon. Keep me posted on your decision.

I wasn't sure which I wanted at first. The True Results people discouraged me from getting the sleeve. I went with the band because it's not permanent and if I have problems, it can be removed and it's a less traumatic surgery since they aren't removing anything. I don't even know if my insurance covers that type of surgery. If I were to consider something like that I would probably look more at Lap-Band with Plication rather than the sleeve. I'm newly banded and so far, so good. I guess you would really need to hear from folks that are a couple years out from having their surgery to be able to make a fair decision.

Instyle98 - I'm with you. Definitely a less tramatic surgery. I had surgery on a Wednesday and was back at work on Monday. I also like the fact that it can be adjusted long-term. For example, 4 years down the road if it's necessary, I can go in and have a fill/unfill. I hadn't heard about plication until I joined this website.

No need to be scared. The only pain I really had was gas. My actual incisions never hurt. After two days, I didn't even take the pain medicine. I'm still new to this but would like to have a lapband buddy. My email is jcrisp0407@yahoo.com.

You all how much Weight have you lost with the band so far??

Ive only been banded for two days. But with my pre op diet and everything. Ive lost 20lbs woot woot!
