Sleeve vs wrap

[clar01]

Hi

What is the difference between these two?
Is the weightloss better with the sleeve?

Any info would be great.

Thank you

I believe weightloss seems to be similar. With the wrap your stomach is folded in on itself and stitched to make it a small tubular shape.....with a sleeve part of your stomach is actually removed.

I think I have some info on this somewhere, I will return to this later!

That would be great, thank you.

Results wise, i dont think there is enough long term data with the wrap to compare it to the sleeve. But initial results concerning losses look similar to the sleeve. However, the main differences are that, with the wrap, the hunger hormone (grehlin) producing part to the stomach is still there.

This is quite good;

I realise Alvarez is biased though!

That's really good thanks. Hedging more towards the sleeve now, but typically the clinic I had set my heart on doesn't do the sleeve, just the wrap!!! Aaagh!!
So I'm now looking for a reputable company that does the sleeve but let's you take family, cheaply!
