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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
