Do any of you wish you would have chose a different type of wls procedure rather than the sleeve? If yes, why ?

A good place to find people is on the failed wls forum. I never have regretted getting my lap band and I don't regret getting a sleeve. I cannot keep the weight off with out a tool and both were good tools for me. Just remember, you will be the one doing the work, not the sleeve. It sure helps a bunch but you still have to make the right choices. For life. No wls does otherwise.

No regrets and I would choose the VSG again, for sure!

So far so good! Easy surgery and recovery. Have a look at the account of the recovery on my blog. 25 lbs down in 5 weeks... No I really don't think any other surgery would have been right for me. The sleeve rocks!

When I woke up in the hospital after it was done and it was hurting the first thing I thought was "WHAT HAVE I DONE???" but that quickly passed and I don't regret it at all. I'm only 8 days post-op and have lost 10lbs already.

Also, feel free to message me if you have any questions at all about the surgery or the process. I'd be happy to answer!
