Dolittle,

I understand how you feel. This surgery has been a life changer, and being able to keep the helper (smaller stomach) talking to your brain saying I'm full is really a necessity to your everyday life. So I think you are making a great decision!

I may see you there at the end of July since I will also be in town, although it is to support a family member who is going to see Dr. Castillo instead.

Thanks!

Holly

From what I understand, due to the scar tissue that can build up around the band when it keeps rubbing the exterior of your upper stomach you would need to look at the sleeve. This takes a part of your stomach out, and will look like the shape of a banana. I hear you can get better results from this procedure, just be aware recovery time is longer. This is not a total fix since you can still re-stretch your stomach again. I hope this helped and the OCC can definitely help you out if decide to go forward.
