Sleeve vs. Lap Band for Lighthweights
I wanted the Lap Band because it was cheapest plain and simple.
As I was researching I read about having to get fills and unfills. I live in Belize and to do that would have been very difficult, I would have had to go to Mexico each time.
So even though the Sleeve was more expensive, it was a 'set it and forget it' procedure. Once it was done, as long as I did not have any complications, I would never need to see my surgeon again.
I have since heard of all of the complications with the lap band, slipping, eroding, over filling, etc. and I am so relieved I did not get the band.
With the Sleeve, I can still eat any food I want, just in much smaller quantities. I have never had trouble losing weight, I have always had trouble getting to goal and maintaining...
I got to goal, I am now intentionally below goal and I am maintaining. I love my tiny tummy! It was worth every single penny I paid for it.
Good luck with your choice,
