I am considering the Sleeve over the Band... Just wanted to see some recent sleevers.....
HI All....
I am just getting to the approve stage for the surgery. I had wanted to have the Lap Band put in but my Dr has recommended the Sleeve. I have also heard of awful complications with the band and that there is a high percentage of people who have complications, don't really loose weight or have other complications in general with the band. So.. I was hoping to know, from those of you who have been sleeved.. what sort of complications are you experiencing.. if any?
Thanks everyone !
I got my sleeve a little over a month ago and I haven't had any priblems. I am very happy.

I had lapband for 3 years sure I lost some weight but got stuck all the time and was never feeling right
lapband slipped 3 years after getting it and had it removed
gained all my weight back fast forward to August 20th 2014 I got my sleeve and love it!!!! No issues no regrets
no more getting stuck and I'm halfway to goal already!!!
take it from someone who's had both the sleeve Iscthe way to go unless you want to lose your band in a few years and weight loss is slower and your always in pain and get food stuck!!! Not worth it
