Approved for Band not Sleeve;(Need some advice.

I'm seduled Sept 23rd for lapband surgery. My doctor is believes it's the best surgery for me, being I have Ms and the meds I take. However, I had my heart on getting the sleeve. I'm freaking out now because I keep reading all the horror stories and problems associated with the lapband. I cannot seem to find to any positive post regarding the lapband. I'm seriously thinking of canceling my surgery. I'm getting so frustrated and don't know what to do at this point. Would any of you conside lapband, if the sleeve was not an option? Or would you call off surgery?

Don't get the band. They have a 60% fail rate. I had one for ten year lost on 30 pounds and spent all ten years throwing up every day. I did damage to my teeth and my esophagus.
