I had my band in May 2005, and removed in April 2010. While I dropped from 420 to 232 - the pain and problems were pretty bad. I had to have the port removed 6 months post op due infection. I had 3 revision surgeries in the 4 years i had the band - due to infections. I then had the band catheter puncture my stomach, and the band completely erode into my stomach.
Here I am 2 years post removal and have gone from 232 to 310 - I have tried every diet in the book, and none with anything more than a little temporary success - I am interested in hearing individual stories for people like me, who have gone from band to sleeve. Any details would be great.
