Mind Change

Feb 17, 2012

Well Ive done A LOT of research on the lap band and the sleeve.  After seeing all the people that have issues with the band and switch from the band to the sleeve, Ive decided to go with the sleeve.  I made another appointment with my dr to discuss all the pros and cons.  I have 86lbs to lose and really dont think it will work for me.  My dr agreed during our last phone conversation.    The lap band makes me very leery after seeing that the long term effects are just starting to show up in the community.  Band slippage, erosion of the stomach etc.   Ive seen quite a few You Tube videos of people who are regretting the band and having it removed.  I also saw comments and vidoes of a thought to have the lap band taken off the market.  So with all that I am going with the sleeve.  Meet Tuesday with the dr to discuss and set up a surgery date.  It wil probably be the end of April.  :-)   Pretty excited!
