lap band or realize band which? sleeve maybe
Please DO A LOT of research. Just not on this board, but other sites too. Make sure you check on information OUTSIDE the U.S.
Also do a lot of research on the type of person and/or eater you are. This will help decide which operation is correct for you.
For me, I love my band and I have been very successful. With that said, if my band needed to be removed, I wouldn't hesitate to do the sleeve.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

This is interesting reading while you're researching the band:
www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-07/allergan-receives-u-s-subpoena-over-weight-loss-device.html
I will also add that I see no better outcomes with Realize band than with Allergan's.
Most that have revised from band to VSG say that VSG works the way the band was suppose to work!
