Terri Gause 1 Posted June 3, 2017 I find myself making a correction to my weight loss journey. I originally chose the Lapband because I thought it would be a better fit for me. I really didn't think this through. I wasn't told about the very long needle used to fill the band. I am terribly afraid of needles. You see my problem with this. I also encountered a Nurse practioner that was brutal and injured my esophagus, eating was had enough. I have chosen the sleeve to alleviate the hunger cravings. I will have enough problems controlling my chocolate cravings. 1 Deactivatedfatgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
