Wow Donna! That is great!

Donna:

That is awesome! How do you feel the comparison is between the lap band surgery and the sleeve? What were your experiences between the lap band and sleeve as far as weight loss; overall feeling of well-being; ease of life-style before and after?

You information and input is very valuable and I certainly appreciate your help in making my decision!

Warmly,

(I have been in training & nbsp; at work and not able to follow the board so closely) & nbsp; I am happy for you Bipley. I have been so very pleased with my sleeve. You will be surprised how easy it is. Don't get me wrong you will still have to watch your intake but I am watching to make sure I get enough! I don't have to chew everything til it is a liquid before I can swallow (still chew it well) I have never had a PB but I have asked my husband to burp me. It

just seems an easier lifestyle with the sleeve v/s the band and yes I have seen the band at work & nbsp;4 of my family members including my self have had weight loss surgery in the last year all by Dr. A,and I am the only one that choose the sleeve everyone else has the band. I had more to loose than everyone else but the hormone thing was my deciding factor. I will & nbsp; be 3 months out june 10th and I should be at 60 lbs by then I am at 57 right now.> The only regret I have is that I did not do it sooner. > & nbsp;>2 OF US HAD SURGERY IN LATE NOVEMBER AND 2 OF US ON MARCH 10TH AND BETWEEN THE 4 OF US WE HAVE ALREADY LOST OVER 210 LBS THAT IS & nbsp; THE EQUIVALANT OF & nbsp;A GROWN MAN ! WHAT A DIFFRENCE A FEW MONTHS AND A GREAT DOCTOR CAN MAKE!!!> & nbsp;>Best of luck, >Marie >
