Hello, WALK OF SHAME HERE! new to the site, had lap band for 10 years now, lost 75 pounds the first 6 months, ultimately learned how to eat crappy again and abused my band and gained all of my weight back plus, I have basically felt like I don't have a band for past 5 years assuming my stomach has stretched out above the band. As of late been feeling a bubble like feeling in my throat, got an esophagram today to learn my assumption it correct but worse than I thought, my band is barely visible my stomache above the band is as big as the stomach below the band and flaps over the band. Was told it obviously can not be left like this, I am concidering getting the sleeve after I get the band removed, but I am scared. Are there and regretting this? Should I just get the band removed and join weight watchers? Or are you happy with your sleeve?
