I've had the band for 8 years. I've been empty for 2. Still get stuck and sick constantly. Having band removed and going to the sleeve on Monday! I'm excited so ready to feel good and keep it off this time. I've gained all but 18 pounds back.
Wow there are a lot of us next Monday! I am also the 21st! Today was my first day liquids I'm so glad I have a Vitamix.
Good luck to you tomorrow Newbie! And everyone else!
