Thank you for your reply.
Ok, I looked up gastric sleeve and it involves laproscopic removal of part of the stomach. and it states that Gastric sleeve surgery may be appropriate also for people who can't return for the follow-up visits required by gastric banding. So all in all this sound perfect for me. My BMI is 48 I have quite a few illnesses that losing weight will help to remedy. it will be a life saving ordeal for me.
