x07lilsunshinex 4 Posted November 24, 2013 Well my doctor told me the lap band wouldn't be a great idea for me . The sleeve would be better and I would be happy on the outcome. Now I just have to wait for tricare to approve the sleeve or get it done at the army hospital. Before any of this can happen I have to lose 20 pounds.

terri82much 80 Posted November 25, 2013 My boyfriend got the lapband after the dr tried to talk him into the sleeve. It didn't work and didnt heal. He got the sleeve Nov 2012 and has lost 130 pounds. He just got plastics done last week in Mexico while I got sleeved...wasn't much of a holiday...lol. go for the sleeve! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
