Lap Band Or Gastric Sleeve Surgery...losing My Mind

[Sleeved&Hopeful 182]

I absolutely agree with most of the people recommending sleeve over band. I have been reading a lot of reports of doctors refusing to do the lap band because of the high risk of problems. I've looked on youtube and seen countless videos of people who never get restriction with the band, people who have to get their band taken off due to a leak or erosion and getting the sleeve instead. If you are going to get a surgery, go for something permanent! Why would you want to have to potentially get weight loss surgery twice? Double the expense, and double the heart break. I've seen several videos about people gaining both half or all of their weight due to the issues. And another thing, when you are done with the sleeve surgery, you are DONE. There are no fills you have to get and no added expenses for traveling for those fills. In my eyes, the sleeve is a NO BRAINER. The success rates have been phenomenal.

Hello. Thank you all. Sleeved last sunday on 26th. The first three days were horrible and full of regrets. Feeling better each day and started moving around. Will keep you posted.

Congrats on your new sleeve! The first few days are pretty hard, but I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.
