Don't think they will band a sleeve patient Sally. No need.

not for me for my freind because her morther refusing cutting her stomach by sleeve

I have had lapband procedure and had it removed and now have the gastric sleeve. Here is my doctors webpage and she describes the procedures. There are also videos. You can search online and find a lot of information on both surgeries.

While I would strongly advise anyone against the band due to my own personal experience with it, and all of the people I know that have had it, I would suggest you check out our sister site for information on the band. The link is:
