Just problems people are having with leaking, gallbladder issues after surgery some people had no choice but to then do bypass because of issues which I DO NOT want at all. That's why I went with the band I didn't want my insides mangled and re-routed and the sleeve was not offered. I was reading some of the forums on this site My mother did it a month ago and so far she's doing great.

The band is awful! I can't eat any protein without it coming up no matter how small or how much I chew. I'm not gonna lie I have been reading some really bad things about the sleeve and it makes me nervous that it's a newer procedure. I'm glad to hear your doing well with it. Did they take the band out the same day?

Good luck!!!!

Hello, I have had my band for 5 years.. The only weight I ever lost was in the first year then I just had problems getting my band to the right tightness. I developed heart burn and acid reflux problems not to mention it has turned me bulimic. I am at my pre surgery weight and I have nothing left in my band yet everything seems to get stuck. Has anyone had the Lap band removed and did the sleeve? I just want this band out and I don't feel like bypass is for me. I just need some advice.. What were the pros and cons, have you had any problems? I want the good and the bad! TIA
