I had my surgery in Las Vegas.
9 years ago I had the lap band. Few months ago had issues with my esophagus. Of course, they opened my band. Come to find out it wasn't my band it was the scar tissue above causing restriction. Long story short band hand to be removed. But with all the hoopla of insurance and what not I gained 50 pounds. Plus the weight I gained beforehand. I was going to have the band removed. Fix my boo boo in my throat. I should have been trained long enough and no what to to. Oh noooo..... I am an addict. I eat! I needed a tool! With much research and talking with my doctor. The Gastric Sleeve was the answer.
Sleeve is way different then the band. I learned the hard way. Protein drinks I have to watch the sugar. One I could drink was 3grams. The other was 5grams.
Sorry for the babbling. No one understands.
