Me, too.

The gastric sleeve is very popular these days. As technology advances, I think we will keep seeming different procedures. Bariatrics is an interesting field of medicine. Anyhow, welcome!

[Mrs.J2015 17]

Hi Ms. Cupcake, can u give me some insight on how your progress has been going so far? I'm trying to decide which surgery will be most effective for me since my lap band failed me 2 yrs. ago. I'm scheduled for surgery April 29. so I want this surgery to be my last surgery. So I'm trying to decide between RYN (Gastric bypass) or Gastric Sleeve. Please help
