Hi, I've had my band for almost 4 years. I lost about 50 lbs total and I have gained back 30 of that. I got pregnant 6 months after my band and did fine throughout my pregnancy. I even breastfeed my son for a year afterward. I really think that breastfeeding boosted my weight loss. I had some problems and my band slipped and I have had nothing but trouble ever since. I go for a fill and its too much and i have to get it unfilled and gain weight. I'm seriously thinking about getting a revision to the sleeve. Any pointers? I feel like such a loser, but I so tired of being overweight. I feel like this is my best option. I really am at a point that I hate my band.

Great news. I seen a dr here and he told me he would remove the band and then I could have the sleeve 6 months later.

Thank y'all for your insight. I'm going to be doing some research for a new doctor. I went through true results for my band. I think I'll be switching doctors though Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@sweesee thank you so much for your help! How long was your hospital stay? Was the procedure still laparoscopic?

@@sweesee I really have a lot of pain too, I think I am just used to it. How was your sleeve surgery? How was your recovery? Did they just do 1 procedure or 2? I'm mostly nervous because I feel like I have failed with the band and I don't want to fail with another WLS.
