Good morning everyone. I'm a Bandster (since 2010) and now crossing over to the Sleeve. I was Banded in 2010 & then again in 2014 with a weight lost total of 100lbs. The first time around it slipped & just had lots of issues with it. Then I thought well since I had such great success with my weight lost & maintaining quite well, I will try another band. Well the first 8 months was smooth, but now I can't tolerate the fills sooooooooooo the sleeve is in the making. I go for my EGD next week & it's been (request for revision) submitted to my Ins. I've been doing lots of research on the SLEEVE as I did with THE BAND & learning a lot. I'm that person who follows Doctors orders 110% & hope to be Successful with the Sleeve.
