SallyInCincinnati 18 Posted June 27, 2012 Found this article while browsing Yahoo. No sleeves on the list, but an interesting read. http://m.yahoo.com/w/ygo-frontpage/lp/story/us/2392438/coke.bp%3B_ylt=A2KL8y35X.tPCW8A7h4p89w4%3B_ylu=X3oDMTFzaG81Nmw5BGNwb3MDMgRjc2VjA21vYmlsZS10ZARpbnRsA3VzBHBrZwNpZC0yMzkyNDM4BHBvcwMxBHNsawN0aHVtYg--?ref_w=frontdoors&view=today&.tsrc=yahoo&.intl=US&.lang=en Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted June 27, 2012 I really don't know why they haven't eliminated the band. it only makes since that once the band is removed or defective, a person is most likely going to have other complications. I choose the sleeve because it was permanent and not as invasive as the GBS. I know that I will never be able to have another wls so I wanted it to be a permanent tool. Now I have it and I know that it's what I really needed. Before I new about the sleeve, I was looking into a lap band, but now, so happy I choose the sleeve, it has saved my life. 1 shellbell33081 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeMeMEEE 206 Posted June 27, 2012 Great read- a few i didn't know about. Wonder how many sleevers will come out in the next few years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jlewis229 191 Posted June 28, 2012 This just gripes my ass! Although some are criticizing Manzo for taking the "LAZY" route to dropping pounds, lap band surgery is becoming a lot more common these days, especially for overweight people who are not considered obese enough for the much more invasive gastric bypass. LAZY HELL! Their is nothing lazy about this! We have dieted all our lives and struggled and this isn't a cure all! This don't just fix us. We have to make better choices, exercise, etc. Sorry but I had to comment and it just really pisses me off. Johnathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
