Hi. I had the band Apprx 10 years ago, it was great for me, kept off about 70lbs for many years and then it broke[emoji20]. I had emergency surgery to remove the band and opted for the sleeve. Unfortunately, the sleeve never worked for me. I gained a lot of weight and finally bit the bullet and had gastric bypass surgery on 9/26/17. So far, so good!!! Still have reflux but not as bad as before... I am feeling very little pain and am actually a bit hungry. I hoping that once I graduate to chunkier foods the food will satisfy me and I will no longer feel hungry-fingers crossed!!!
