I wasn't always big Before my first kid I was 125 After giving birth I weighed 199 And then I lost my weight went back down to 152 then I had Two more kids Then I I was stuck at 199 Then I got on dite pills lost 50 pounds right after that I had a tummy tuck and a breast lift I was very happy then 2years later I gained all my Weight back things were happening in my life that was very Stressful And I'm emotional eater this was over Seven years ago. Will I Decided to go to a Seminar about the lap band will I thought I wanted a lap band but the dr told me the Sleeve is better Only Because it was faster and u can Lose more weight with the Sleeve and faster Results I want to Lose 70 pounds but I'm so Scared I don't know why maybe I feel I won't wake up after Surgery but since I Found this site it helped me a lot but But I need a hysterectomy first and then I have to decide between the lap band or the Sleeve so whats better Which one is less harmful?

We're all biased toward the surgery we've had, but I have been very happy with the sleeve.

*Well, almost all of us, I should say.

You should continue this conversation with your doctor. Only he/she knows your history and is making that recommendation for a reason. Tell your doctor your concerns, people on the internet that have never met you cannot tell you which surgery to have. Good luck whatever you decide.

I love my sleeve...wouldn't change a thing. Only need to lose 60 lbs going in..had my surgery 10/30 and so far I've lost 34 lbs. It's a transition but I have a friend with a band and she has more problems with certain foods than me. Certain things really hurt her, as for me I can't eat a lot of anything but nothing really hurts. Love my sleeve and I'm loving watching my shape come back...slowly...this way my skin isn't so flabby.
