I went to a weight loss surgeon wanting the lap-band . He talked me into the sleeve procedure.
I had the surgery Dec 2015. Unfortunately I was not successful. Since them I have only lost 20 pounds and that has been with considerable effort. I am now considering adding a band . I think my sleeve just did not give me enough restriction and at least with the band you can adjust it once it's in if you need more restriction you can get a fill. Oddly enough even though I would consider my surgery a failure it has changed my relationship with food drastically for the better. I now have very healthy eating habits and satisfied with reasonable portions and no longer have the desire to binge or stuff myself with sugar. Have a hard time understanding why that has not resulted in greater lose, but with hormone and thyroid issues my metabolism is shot. I believe in order to lose weight my colorie intake still has to be much lower than it is , which is already on the low side so I feel the band my help me stick to a very restrictive diet that otherwise is just too hard. Anyway I am still trying ,determined to get rid of this weight one way or another.
