Hi All

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

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.
