    A coworker had it done last year. To be honest I had my mind set on the lap band until I went to an informational seminar held by a local bariatric surgeon.

I was actually researching gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico and looking at different coordinating companies, that's how I found this site.

Other... as in I'm a member via your lapband forum

I would guess Bing. I did a lot of research those first few months.

My surgeon, Dr Spaw at St Thomas at Midtown in Nashville, referred me. He told me about this site at my first surgical consult and highly recommended I get plugged in.

I too was researching Gastric Sleeve Surgery on Google and found your site.

Google while I was searching weight loss surgery.

Googled Gastric Sleeve

My surgeon Dr Loisianna Valensuela /Tijuana Mx. Recommended it in her getting started package of info. I am so grateful for all the info and support.

Google and as VSG is not as popular in the UK yet (it will become so I'm sure) I wanted an active site and stumbled on you guys and I am really glad I did. I mainly just read posts and got lots of info before surgery, came a little bit more active after surgery and now hang out with the vets and get all their great experiences and support.

Read an article about Lisa Lampenelli, the comedian, losing 106 lbs with the gastric sleeve. That's the first time I'd heard of it. The rest is history . . .
