Just my experience.. I had the band with its ups and downs for 9 years. I lost little, gained it all back. Had constant issues with denser foods so I always turned to sliders. Bad choices and poor nutrition became the norm because of a very stressful job and long hours. I was sleeved in November and so far my biggest regret is that I chose the band over the sleeve the first time. I'm 5 weeks post op, down 35 pounds and able to eat denser Proteins in small portions with no issue at all. I believe this was the right choice for me and I will be successful this time.
