IN PATIENS TAHT HAVE PROBLEMS WHIT THE BAND OR THE BAND WAS REMOVED ,IS A GOOD OPTION BECAUSE THE TAKE OUT MORE THAN 60% OF THE STOMACH AND CONTINUE LOSSING WEIGHT WHITOUT ADJUSMENTS I READ THIS IN HIS PAGE www.huacuz.com:clap2:

The Sleeve Gastrectomy, reduce the stomach volumen.The stomach is restricted by dividing it vertically and removing more than 8o% of it. This part of the procedure is not reversible. The stomach that remains is shaped like a banana and measures from 2-5 ounces.The nerves to the stomach and the outlet valve (pylorus) remain intact with the idea of preserving the functions of the stomach while reducing the volume. By comparison, in a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the stomach is divided, not removed, and the pylorus is excluded. There is no intestinal bypass with this procedure, only stomach reduction. The main points about this procedure will be the stomach is reduce but it will funciton normally so most food items can be consemed in small amounts. Also Dr, Huacuz eliminated the portion of the stomach that produce hunger.

and I did some search before get the procedure done , and it is totally aprove by the ASBS , American Society fro Bariatric Surgery.

and Dr. Huacuz perform my procedure Laparoscopic, that makes the diference

You can visit the doctor website, and you will find information regarding the procedure and more, also they have a support group that just start.

I stop loosing weight with my Lap Band after a year and fourt months, plus I suffer from erosion on my Band my Doctor remove the Band , also I think my over weight was too much that Lap Band was not the best solution on my case, so I when for Sleeve Gastrectomy after Dr. Huacuz explain to me the procedure, and it worked for me since then.

Congrats to you happy@83. How long did you have the band before converting to the sleeve. I am not banded yet and I am just weighing all of my options before. I am REALLY leaning towards the band. So many have success with it and their are some that don't. I am trying to talk to both groups to get all of the pro's and con's of it. I am 106 lbs over weight and I am hoping that the band will help. Thanks!!!

<p>Glad to hear that you got a Lap Band, Im sure you will loss all the overweight that you have, remember to learn how not to regaing weight and in case that you may suffer from erotion or slippage and you lost your band, you most considerated the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, because they will eliminated the gastric fundus that produce the greline hormone that condition the hunger. Remember that the bariatric surgery is Considerate Metabolic surgery was the cause of the American Bariatric Surgery Association chance the name. </p> <p> </p> <p>www.verticalsleevegastrectomy.org</p> <p> </p> <p>Happy@83</p>
