verticlelap

Has anyone heard of any doctors doing the lap band over a verticle sleeve surgery? My doctor and I are thinking of doing it, but i am concerned with possible slippage.

try no weight loss after six months!

I had the sleeve..lots of gas! Walking helps though! I did liquids for 1 week, soft foods for 2 and then eat as you can. I really like it, but do not think my doctor took enough of my stomach. I have stopped loosing weight after 35 lbs and will now try just the opposite of what you are doing. May I ask, you seem to have such great success. Why change what apparently seems to be working?

I really think that a larger percentage of my stomach was left rather than taken! When I saw the picture afterwards, it did not seem like much was taken. I was thinking that if enough was taken, it would almost be impossible to put a band on it. It would simply slide down...but evidently my doctor must see enough of my stomach to band. I was even thinking of asking him to redo the verticle sleeve, but think the band would be better. Did I mention my sister and I had our surgeries the same day. We both weighed the same. I had the sleeve, she had the band and she is now twenty pounds lighter then me. And no, she does not count calories nor does she excersise! WOW!

thats the bypass isnt it? I only want to loose 50 more pounds and did not want something so invasive...
