which is safer band or sleeve?

[Guest guest]

I am copying what LOIS H. SAID--Some how these sleeve benefits got past me when I went in for the band in August 2007. It is a puzzle how I missed it all. I THOUGHT I did my homework well on this matter when I signed on for the band. Thankfully, the band is working with me.

I suppose the sleeve was available in 2007;but the doctors never told me anything in regards to that option.Back t hen it semed the only 2 choices were bypass or sleeve;and I knew the bypass was not for me!! I wish I had the sleeve-every single time I read these posts,but I have lost 91 lbs since 2007,most in first year and although I still get stuck,slime,vomit at times;It saved my life and for this I am grateful!

I even asked Nina about revision surgery to the sleeve and she said as long as I was not having a slip,erosion, or other problem-that Dr.Aceves advised against the surgery risks of revision to a sleeve.

I have had miraculous results with Dr.Bello-plastic surgeon.I HAD A FULL ABDOMINPLASTY,BREAST LIFT,AUGMNTATION,SILICONE IMPLANTS,LIPOSUCTION,and UPPER EYELID FAT REMOVEDand am a new person.Cost is different for each patient-ask Nina for his contact info pleaseI want to put my before and after photos on this site,but my befores are all done at Wal-mart and not good with knowing how to put onto the site.Help is encouraged!

I am currently on a 3 day or longer clear and full liquid diet,may do it for a week or more? My band was tight and sometimes I just get tired of eating---never thought those words would come out of my mouth-lol.

God Bless,

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS !
