After three year of being banded, I am now facing being unbanded. It is a very emotional thing for me and I refuse to go back to my old life.
I am researching the sleeve to continue my journey and to stay healthy.

I had a band for 1.5 yrs. Had to remove it and gained some weight back. I have had the sleeve and it feels great. Losing again, not feeling hunger and no fills to deal with. My recovery was uneventful. I was never comfortable with the band, felt like it was pulling all the time. The lap band surg. took 15/20 min. longer because they had to deal with scar tissue from the band. I am so far very happy with my decision. I again have hope of success. All the best on your journey.
I guess I will be needing a new name too! HA!
