VAsleeve

Anyone from the Kingsport, TN, Johnson City, TN, or Bristol, TN/VA area?

I guess I am beating "this horse" because I'm trying to make the best decision for me. I'm sure everyone here went through a similar process at some point. Having not known anyone who has has WLS, I thought I'd post an open question here.

Can anyone give me some insight on why you chose the band over gastric sleeve? At this point I'm considering both. My consult with surgeon is later this month. Thanks!!

Thanks! I have my first consultation coming up soon and will weigh out the pros/cons of a lap band vs gastric sleeve.

Hi there. I've just started this journey so maybe my presence is a little premature. I'm in the Kingsport, TN area and will attend my first seminar in a couple weeks. Still have almost 6 months of nutrition plan before insurance will approve procedure. I'd appreciate any and all advice anyone has for someone in the early beginning stages. The good, the bad, and the ugly!! Thanks!!
