wheels

Hello I am new to the board. My story is this ...I am in the process of deciding which surgery to have . I have a surgeon and he is very good. Waiting on insurance and wont have the surgery until May or June . I am 48 , 49 in a few weeks male. I lost a lot of weight in my lifetime . I weighed as much as 419 pounds back in the late eighties. I now weight around 290. Sounds good But decieving. I list weight on weight watchers and was down to 260 a couple if years ago. The weight wants to come back. My choices are the lap band or the sleeve. My surgeon thinks I should do the sleeve. I cant decide. Please any help with peoples opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks. To both. I Did check out the sleave site also. Much more people are on this site. My surgeon likes the sleeve and its non reverseable. The idea of the sleeve scares me a bit, the band is less envasive. But I have heard that the band is high maintence and fills are not insured . I just dont know the Long term sucess of the sleeve. Thanks for listening!
