Yes ik they are a proven weight loss, I'm an RN on a surgical floor and I care for these ppl everyday...I meant fad as they are the "new" weight loss option being pushed by surgeons like the Lapband was years ago but it has faded out in my area (which is a large hospital in PA.) many surgeons refuse to do Lapbands and GERD pts will hardly ever get a recommendation for a sleeve here.

May 23 rny

Congrats!!!! Rny on may 23...converting from sleeve

Sleever here and I dump unfortunately.

Sleeves the new lap band fad

RN on surgical floor and soon to b pt myself, yes abdominal binders are on everyone of our bypass n sleeve pts. Helps hold everything in place to relieve the pressure and pain. A lot of belly drs make their pts wear them.

Congrats!

I had the sleeve in 2011...lost 50 pounds and was stuck no matter what I did. Dietitian was stumped. Serious case of things getting stuck, regurgitation and inflammation of my stomach. Developed a hiatal hernia also. After dealing with it for years finally talked to dr about next steps or treatments. She recommended rny and I did my homework plus I'm a RN on the surgical floor so got to see first hand. It's a very personal choice and you have to do what's best for you and do your homework on both. It took me 6 years for heaven sake to decide lol. Pray and pray about it and your answer will come to you sweetheart!

Congrats!!! [emoji322]

Wishing the best with your surgery [emoji1374]
