Welcome to the forum! Man if there is one weight loss surgery you don't want, it's the lapband. And whatever that horrible one with the balloon is. The lapband has really hurt a lot of unfortunate people. It rubs against the upper part of the stomach, damaging it. And has to be maintained often. There are quite a few people on this site who get the lapband removed and have the sleeve done instead. Anyway, that's my 2 cents about the lapband procedure. I've been researching the sleeve since early 2012 and finally got it done in September of this year! I found it funny that between the 2 seminars I attended between 2 different hospitals, neither surgeon could give me information on the sleeve that I didn't already know.
No surprises here for this girl!
