Hi All,
Just found this site today while looking for banding vs. sleeve. I have my psych eval Friday and am a little nervous.
I thought I was all set to choose the band, but after reading the problems of the band erosion and having to go back for fills etc. I started checking out the sleeve and I think it will be a better fit for me.
Has anyone else gone through this indecision?
Also I've read that the sleeve is the first step to a bypass, does that happen to most who get the sleeve? I don't really want to go through 2 surgery's.
I'll roam through the site & get more info; I would love to hear from you all.
Thanks & God Bless,
Lydia
