Have never heard of the sleeve. Who has had it and what's the difference in the band, bypass , sleeve?

With the sleeve you loose weight just because of restriction they cut out 80% of your stomach and make your stomach as narrow as your bowels it's basically a big long tube instead of a football shape! With the bypass you loose between 80-90% of excess weight with the sleeve you loose between 70-80%!

See with me I have been over weight my whole life. The past 8 yrs I have been trying to loose. And wasn't eating and still gaining. My sister passed away Oct. 4 2007 from PAH after she passed I started eating.MAD EATTING even when wasn't hungry. That's how my weight got maxed at 452.

I believe if an when the dr says its a go not EATTING for me will not be a problem. My pcp didn't understand why I was gaining when I wasn't eating.so he put me on supplements ect. Thyroid was perfect didn't understand it nor do I.but the 100 I gained after my sis. Death I know how that got on me.

I am praying so hard that the dr will do this now that I'm almost350 I'm excited but scared he still won't do it cause of the PAH.

I feel blessed to have found this site with such great people who are here to help with support and I will do my best to support others as well.
