Any Regrets?
I have my surgery scheduled on the 6th of April and I'm a cash payer 10K but my surgeon says it's for a year of fills and follow up... now you all have me second guessing the band and wondering if I should have chosen the sleeve... :(
I have an elliptical machine in my house and I've lost 20 plus lbs already since eating 5 times a day instead of just once like I use too.. but I'm really concerned now reading everyone's comments..
I need to lose 130lbs my doctor said.. my friend had the sleeve done in December and she loves it no problems and has lost about 80lbs already... I love forums but man y'all really make a person use their brain and second guess themselves LOL... :)
Thanks for all the input.. :) I appreciate you all!!

NO regrets, on choosing the LB. I am a stronger & more confident woman post LB and enjoy life more then ever I am even considering returning to school this spring! This weekend, I walked 6 miles training for the 3 day/60 mile walk and there isn't a food that I could possibly eat that would make me feel better then those walks along the trails in that beautiful park.
I questioned my wls soon after, when I wasn't losing very quickly, but I read on these boards & realized we really do all lose differently and that being a slow loser isn't necessarily a bad thing. I didn't have a hundred plus pounds to lose and I needed to relax and work with my band to get to where I needed to be...at a comfortable weight for me.
Good luck with your decision and follow your gut decision ... no pun intended!
....joy
