Doctor recommendation.....



Recommended Posts

Soooooooo my doctor told me yesterday that he does not want me to do the lap band and so the sleeve instead. I'm 21 at 5 ft 8 in tall and weigh 360 lbs ... I need to talk to some one who has this I'm just terrified!!!!

I had the lap band 7 years ago. It did not work for me, I never felt full. I had the sleeve on dec 9 and it is so much different with the band I don't have the hunger pangs like I used to. Prior to my surgery I was always hungry. My doctors are moving away from the band due to complications with it. I am happier with my sleeve and seeing more success. Review the topic under sleeve forum for those who had the lap and and converted to the sleeve. This will give u a better perspective . Good luck.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
