Good luck to you..I'm in the beginning stages!

How is it going for you? Are you struggling with anything?

No, just struggling with which surgery I was going to do..I was going todo the lap band, but I'm looking at the sleeve! What was wrong with your lap band?

Good luck........ I was sleeved on 11/20 and I thought it was going to be painful but honestly it wasn't, well at least to me it wasn't... Felt like a period... The only issue first couple of days was the gas pains...... I was burping every chance I could get.......

Divadee the lapband was fine at first lost 60 pounds and that was it. The standstill was crucial as well as the vomiting. I eventually gained it all back because I got tired of getting fills. I think it complicated my life more than help, especially not eating and your still gaining, because you can only eat the wrong thing. I had no problem keeping junk food down, and that's what I turned to. Go for the sleeve.

@ it's just me, I am truly hoping I have your experience.
