If you are considering any type of gastric surgery Please consider the "sleeve". I have had no problems and very happy with my decision. I had my surgery done April 9, 2013. I have lost 50 plus pounds. I wore a bikini for the first time in a very long time, on our vacation this summer. I do watch what I put in my mouth and I do work out 4 to 6 times a week. Losing the weight does make it easier to want to go and work out, because I do not get so fatigued and out of breath. I have seen myself become stronger and much more confident. The reason I say, "sleeve" vs. lap band or by pass, is because there were several people in my weekly group who had the "sleeve" surgery the week I was at Jereusulm Hospital in Tijuana and they had already 'FAILED'with the lap band and by pass. You won't regret your decision of making this life changing surgery!

Sincerely Happy and Healthy,
Leslie Jackson
