I can't decide....

Nov 11, 2009

I am having a hard time deciding which surgery is best for me. I am having to self-pay because my insurance will not cover weight loss surgery. I have researched, and feel pretty comfortable about going to Mexico to get my WLS. I am now narrowing it down to what surgeon and what procedure to actually have in February 2010. (that seems like years away ) I started this journey with the Lap Band as my surgery choice for me, but now wondering if I should go with the Gastric Sleeve. I like the fact that the Lap Band is reversible and adjustable, but I dont like the idea of having to get fills for the rest of my life. I like that the Gastric Sleeve does not require fills, but that my stomach could stretch over time. As I am typing this, I am leaning toward the Lap Band again...LOL this is driving me insane!! 

I do know that I am ready for a change. My knees hurt so badly, I just recently had my 5th knee scope. I have sleep apnea and have to sleep with a machine, looking like Darth Vader. NOT CUTE..
