Hi Everyone!
I wrote here several years ago when I was intensely on Nutrasystem. Needless to say it did not work to effect any long term weightloss for me. I just had my first consultation with the surgeon and need some advice.
I want the lap-band, the least invasive surgery. He told me that because of the amount of weight I need to lose, he might as well not put in a lap band
because it will not work. He wants to do a gastric sleeve and after I lose 100 lbs. he will do a gastric bypass. Great...from least invasive to most invasive.
My question for anyone out there who can help...
1. anyone out there who has to lose in excess of 250 lbs who has gotten a lap-band and it has worked well?
2. anyone had the same experience I have had?
I am really much more divided about having the surgery with those two surgeries in mind.
Thanks so much!
Vicky
