    Default Switching from Band to Sleeve HELP!

    Has anyone on here switched from the Band to the Sleeve? I am considering it. I have not had much success with the Band. I lost almost 100 lbs and then I got pregnant (not planned) and gained pretty much all of it back. The bad thing is I really cannot eat anything now with out it getting stuck! It is so frustrating and I cannot understand why I cannot loose it like I did before! I drink protein drinks in the morning and softer foods like yogurt and soups throughout the day. I am done with the band and I have heard this happens to a lot of women after getting pregnant. Is there anyone else out there with the same problem? Any advice? Should I switch to the sleeve? Thanks in advance!

    You can search the forums here for band to sleeve...I think there is even a group for people who have switched from the lapband to the sleeve...

    Should you do it? Well...that is up to you. This is a huge lifestyle change and with a baby, you will need a great support system at home.

    But, I am 5 weeks out and I am in the "buyers remorse" period...I hope sleevers who are 3-12 months out respond for you.
