I Might Be "jumping Ship"

Hi all. This is my first posting on these boards. I've been posting over on Lap Band Talks because I was 100% convinced I was going to do the lap band. Well, I went to the seminar tonight and now I'm leaning toward the sleeve. I still don't know for sure yet though.

Anyone care to share their experience with the sleeve and if you are happy with your decision? Also, if you thought about lap band and went sleeve, what are your reasons?

Thanks!

~Amy

    My lapband was placed in 05 and slipped. Was removed last June. Lots of food intolerance, vomiting, etc. The VSG will be my third and, I hope, final surgery. I am scheduled for 6/27.
