Doctor very supportive of lapband surgery

[seeme1954 32]

Went to my support meeting and it was refreshing to hear doctors support lap over sleeve and bypass even though it is less money for him and more follow up. In his experience he said since it is adjustable it will work long term . His patients are healthier and actually did not support sleeve at all. It made me feel good since I was on the fence and am not in green zone yet. Just thought since most doctors push other surgeries this was good to hear . Also he is very successful and has done a lot of wls. He said his wife has it!

That's awesome you found a great surgeon. Like you, I'm incredibly blessed with an outstanding surgeon that not only strongly supports the Lap Band but he's been a huge source of encouragement and support for me on my journey.

It's nice to know there's others out there!

My Dr. was like this, he won't do the sleeve because he believes that long term, the band is better. Plus most of his office staff have the band.

That's really good to hear! My surgeon had the lap band himself and most of his staff has it as well, it's a nice resource since they know what you mean when you are asking questions about what you are experiencing.
