Hi, I'm new to the site. Was going to go with the lapband until I had my 1st consultation yesterday and my surgeon and I agreed the sleeve would work quicker and better for me. Look forward reading all your post and getting you guys advice. Thanks

Welcome to the site. Good luck on your journey.

Hi...I think the sleeve is a good choice...many on here have had problems with the band and have had it revised to the sleeve....good luck with your journey.

Hello, I went in to my first appointment with the surgeon requesting bypass. My surgeon recommended the sleeve for me too. I walked out a little frustrated, VERY confused, and unsure of what to do. I did some online required education, found this forum, and it would take a lot of convincing to get me to go any other route! Good Luck on your journey!

I felt the same way while I was there. Then he took the time to go over all the pros vs cons and it was a no brainer. I had no idea that at some point with the band there was a 75% chance they'd have to do another procedure down the line. After skiming this form I really think this is going to be the best option for me.
