I've started the footwork to have Lapband surgery. So I've gone to my meetings, seen the shrink, done my diet and excercise thing for ninety days, and been approved for the surgery. I think all that's left is the final appointment where they set a date for the surgery. Here's my question...as I was sitting in one of my seminars a few weeks ago, the facilitator mentioned that the sleeve procedure had a higher weight loss rate than the lap band. So then I found myself wanting the sleeve instead! Now I only want to lose around 100 pounds so I can take my time to be honest, but I got panicky or something and just had to have the "better" procedure. I had already decided against bypass because its so invasive and irreversible,plus I don't completely trust myself not to blow it and stretch out my stomach again. Then I'd have no options left. But I don't know why the fear isn't there for the sleeve doesn't make me fear that. From what I've read though, the sleeve procedure is sort of a first step for morbidly obese people to having the bypass done. Any thoughts?
