    Welcome! I had my lap band removed on December 4th and sleeved at same time! You will absolutely LOVE the sleeve! I had complications with mine, and it hurt like hell to try and eat something. Now that I'm on a regular diet I've been trying different foods one day at a time. And at first I was sooo scared it was going to hurt and get stuck in my chest like it did with lap band. It didn't hurt , it didn't get stuck, I felt full after eating! I absolutely love my sleeve now! Good luck to you!
    Live your life one day at a time, one step at a time, one breath at a time.
