I am considering this or the Adjustable Gastric Band. I am also interested in hearing about your experiences.
The lap band should be discontinued completely, in my opinion. There are so many problems with it. I heard recently that Kaiser will not even do them anymore. For me, I decided on the sleeve gastrectomy in August 2009, after over a year's research, and finally had it done in June 2015. It is the ideal procedure for my needs, but everyone is different. Go to a weight-loss surgery introductory briefing at a Bariatric Center of Excellence near where you live. It is free and you will learn all the different options available, and the pros and cons of each one. You will make the final decision with your surgeon, based on your own medical history and needs.

I'm a sleever too! Had my sleeve done in Mexico on 3/28 and today I hit my second goal of losing my first 50 pounds! No fitbit but I do work out and am working towards actually being able to run (not walk like I have others) a 5k in October. Well run for part of it anyway! LOL0

Hi, I'm just starting the process to get a VSG. I have an insurance-imposed 3 month wait chock full of specialist and dietician visits, tentatively looking at late October or early November. Would love to be added to an active group. I'm very nervous about the surgery and being able to maintain!0
