March 2010 lapband Feb 2011 removed due to infection. Gained 50% weight back now need hip bilateral and left knees and no docs will touch me at 310lbs. And blood issues. Someone please talk me into sleeve or bypass or where i can get enough morphine to do the rest.

Well I don't know how tall you are but I am 5'3 and 280 pounds with 140 to lose and I am getting the sleeve its my first and hopefully last wls my insurance only allows one per lifetime. So we're not to far off weight wise. I would check out the band revision boards they have a better perspective

I am a revision from Band. I really researched both the Sleeve and Bypass before making a choice. You need to do the same and see which one you are comfortable with. Both are effective, it really comes down to your preference... unless your Dr says you arent a candidate for one or the other.

No one should have to talk you into either. Do some research and make an informed decision. Have you consulted a surgeon? That first consultation would be a good place to start.
