I had my band removed 5 years ago due to an infection attaching to my band and the only way to get rid of was to remove. Gained weight back that I had lost with band and got the sleeve I November. Minimal pain, and gas less than with band. I was back to work, from home in 2 days and office in a week. Surgery took a bit longer due to scar tissue but certainly doable. Works great, little hunger and you can just eat about half a cup, which in creases the longer you have it
