wow. Thats great. I'm very happy for you! wish I would of known about this before my banding. Guess I have to deal with this now. My banding is removable, but better stick with it for awhile. Cost me a mint! Maybe this will be of help to people who are thinking of surgery! Helps to know whats out there first! Much luck to you!

I've never heard of this surgery until today. Kind of wish I would of before I was banded. Sounds pretty easy compared to the band, although no surgery is easy. How did you feel after this surgery? Painful for awhile? My cousin had the verical band, and she loves it. I'm still getting used to my lap-band

This sleeve is something new. Can you explain what surgery that is. Sounds like a good one. I had the lap-band surgery on Monday July 21st and this really sounds like something many people could read up on.

That stuff scares me too. I hear that at work all the time, but I have my surgery on the July 21st. My family tries to talk me out of it all the time, including my husband. I wish they would just stand behind me on this instead of trying to discourage me. I'm going to do this though. Hang in there. You will hear all kind of things. Just do what you feel is the best for you. :thumbup:
