Hello, I was in your shoes not too long ago. I decided the sleeve for a few reasons. I like you was part of Band Talk and did tons of research, but the more I read about the band the worse of an idea it seemed like(for me). -long term success -potential early complications verses months down the road - decreased appetite - it will cure my sweet tooth - no fussing with fills and unfills - no worries about internal erosion - little to no sliming - not having to worry about a port - quicker weight loss - it seems like a fair amount of people are band to sleeve revision and this worried me. I met a guy with the band. He has had his for 2 years and lost 10lbs. This is scary to me. -sleeve feels like the right thing for me. Bypass too big of a process for me. Band felt like too little and a lot of room for failure. Sleeve is the happy medium. - no worries about malabsorption -I want a life long change, not a device has an expiration date. - I am huge on fruits and vegetables and the sleeve allows this. My body is starting to be affected by my weight. I am 5'5" was 307 and now 298. Impaired glucose,sleep apnea, back and knees problems. My doctor if I have wls she would not be worried about any of these problems. I think faster weight loss is better for my health at this point. I hope this information helps out a little. Wishing you the best while making this huge decision. Best, Sannah Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hello, I have an iphone 5 and I cant get VST to work correctly! Not sure what is going on!! I have tried replying to posts and it does not work! I am going crazy. My phone shows me the last posts that I participated in, and online (ipad or laptop) I cant find them. I am wanting to reply to this gal, but I can not find her post and I do not recall her name!!! Bummer deal!!! Is you're iphone5 working with the VST app? Best, Sannah

Yes!! So absolutely annoying!!!!! My phone and ipad are generally easy to use, especially with a one year old running around!!! It is not often that I sit down in front of a computer!!!

Thank you kindly!!! I will give this a whirl!!! Maybe I will have some luck!!

I believe Darling Husband, (HD) or Darling Wife (DW) There are other for children. I recently learned about this while researching information for my infant daughter!!! So many things to keep up with!!! I hope this helps! Best, Sannah

My nut taught me that food is not "good" or "bad". I can have anything, in moderation. Also I can view food as a trade off. If I eat a high calorie food to maybe consider doing a little more activity. Sounds like you will be able to enjoy the things you love!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hello! I am 5'5" I finally broke the 300 lb mark!!! WOO HOO! I am now 298! I also have a little one, a girl who just turned one! I am almost 31 years of age. I am pre op and finished my 6 month of medically supervised weight loss yesterday. My papers have been submitted to insurance. Where are you at in the pre op process? Do you have an insurance medically supervised weight loss period? So, we have some things in common. The big thing we have incommon are these feelings! One minute I am excited at the potential the sleeve could bring to my life and how it would change my daughters life. The next minute I feel like backing out due to the fear of dying and or living with any severe complications. I am so afraid that I might be the one whose body does not react well. Thanks for posting! It sure is nice to have someone to relate with! These emotions come and go minute to minute and day to day. When will this change? Perhaps feelings these emotions is normal and healthy for us, because this is a VERY big decision to make. For a while I was reading and posting daily on the board, which for the most part was beneficial for me. I have learned a great deal of information from reading about others experiences. I thought with the all the knowledge I have gained that these feeling would subside, but they havent. So, for now I realize the fear is healthy and necessary for success. I wish some how we would provide words of comfort, but it seems we must endure this rollarcoaster! Soon enough we will embrace the rewards of this journey. Wishing You the Best, Sannah

This is hard. I went from 6 shots of espresso to 2 and then none for pregnancy. What helped me was finding something else to drink to replace the caffeine. This had to find a beverage I liked just as much, which was hard. I did decaf espresso or diet 7up. I know carbonation is not desirable for the sleeve. Wishing you the best!!!
