Back~To~Amy 307 Posted August 12, 2012 Wrlcome to VST. I was originally only open to the Lapband until I went to a seminar. The idea of the sleeve intrigued me. It didn't take much to realize that was the way I wanted to go. I'm almost 10 weeks postop now and am LOVING my sleeve. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Good luck to you as you do your research. Let us know if you have any questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gustavo52974 369 Posted August 12, 2012 Welcome aboard. It can get bumpy in here so make sure your seat belt is securely fastened, tray table in the upright and locked position, exits are clearly marked, etc. Enjoy your trip to your new life! 2 Avillias and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
