I'm having my band removed and getting the sleeve. I'm also self pay twice. So im sure hoping this really works. A little scared but I really hope it works.With my band I couldn't eat much at all with out throwing it up. I have had fills, taken them out, put them back still don't loss. This has been going on for 3 1/2 years. I'm really tired of it. Its been hard getting the money to do this again.So im hoping for the best. This is my last chance. Good luck, Joyce

Hi, congratulation . on your weight loss. Just a few questions. I'm going to have a revision from lap band to sleeve. Do u still loses enough weight after having the band. I heard that you don't have the restrictions after having the band like you would if you just had the sleeve.Also did you have ONE SURGERY OR DID U HAVE TO GO BACK AND HAVE THE SLEEVE LATER AFTER TAKEN BAND OUT? Would really appreciate of you information you can provide. Thanks, Joyce
