Which was generally more successful in 2013: the lap band or gastric sleeve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleeve - any year: However, which weight loss operation you have is an individual decision. Weigh the pro's and con's of each procedure, and choose what seems the best fit for you, based on eating habits, BMI, medical problems, etc. Hope this helps!
