Hi group: My name is Jackie, and I am wondering which surgery will be better for me on the long run. I am between the sleeve and the lap band. I am really scare to go with the sleeve because I am not sure what will happen to me on the long run with taken out 80% of my stomach. I heard many things, that can go wrong after you have the sleeve. I am trying to avoid further years to come complications issue w my organs. I believe the lap band will help me and I have less side effects from it. If I have complications I can always take it off, and avoid other issues. I am undecided in which surgery I should do and confused about the whole thing. Any suggestions, or please let me know what do you think about my post. I need to hear more information on this issue in order to make a good decision, Thank you group!

When can people lift weights after surgery?

Do u think Dr.Garcia was a better choice?? Thanxs

Tracy hi there. I was wondering who did your surgery?? Thanxs

I wonder how many people had the sleeve at this BMI? I just need to lose 70 pounds. Will be happy if I lose 40-50. THANK YOU

I an just worry about the anestisia? Had anybody had that reaction. I want to know more about Dr. Garcia

What is this about??? Is this related to being sleeve?? Confused

75 grams of protein?? I had the same problem when I was doing my diet. I think it is from lack of sugar and no food. Thanks. I hope things go well for you!!

Had anybody have headaches from the pre-op diet? And what is the amount of protein U should have? I need to have low protein because of a medical condition.

I only hear people talking about how good do they look after surgery. The only thing I want w this surgery is for me too be able to be healthier. Although I know there are some health risks w this procedure!! I need to pick between Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Gonzales. Does anybody has any suggestions. I dont know I am afraid of picking one. I want a doctor who will do a good job!!!!

Who is better? Dr. Garcia or Dr. Almanza? I need to decide. Thank you
