jackj 6 Posted March 29, 2013 Hi, I'm new to the site. Was going to go with the lapband until I had my 1st consultation yesterday and my surgeon and I agreed the sleeve would work quicker and better for me. Look forward reading all your post and getting you guys advice. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macy6 356 Posted March 29, 2013 Hello, I went in to my first appointment with the surgeon requesting bypass. My surgeon recommended the sleeve for me too. I walked out a little frustrated, VERY confused, and unsure of what to do. I did some online required education, found this forum, and it would take a lot of convincing to get me to go any other route! Good Luck on your journey! 1 jackj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then he took the time to go over all the pros vs cons and it was a no brainer. I had no idea that at some point with the band there was a 75% chance they'd have to do another procedure down the line. After skiming this form I really think this is going to be the best option for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
