I am in the process of having baratric surgery...i went in for my consultation with my surgeon with the intentions of having lap band...he suggested the sleeve as another alternative and actually said he would choose the sleeve over lap band if he were having the surgery......i am now torn between the 2...i like the fact that with the sleeve you don't have the maintenence issues with adjustments and fills.. once the surgery is done ...its done (barring any complications...my main concern is that it is irreversible whereas the lap band could be removed if there were complications....Sleevers...what made you choose the Gastric Sleeve procedure?
