Would you have WLS again?

  • Popular Post

I'm sure I would. Ups and downs but happy with keeping weight off for 7 years. Didn't know it was possible before. Much happier!

    I loved it so much I did it twice. Once where I lost all my excess weight and kept it off fro 3 years, and then again when my band started leaking. Got a new one and am back in maintenance.

    I would definitely have WLS again but I would look into the sleeve more closely this time.

    Definitely! Been banded over 10 years! Certainly haven't been the perfect bandster but have not had the first problem with my band. It's hard telling what my weight would be or if I would even be alive had I not done it. Working back towards my goal weight. I have learned so much about myself and what has contributed to my weight issues. Tomorrow I will be 63 years old and very healthy.
