I revised my band to the sleeve in march 2017 with only 25lbs max overweight, I no longer have co morbidities due to my weight loss with the band 7ys ago when I lost 140lbs, my band too was slipped and although I no-longer had fluid in the band, due to complications my surgeon recommended it be removed and gave me the option to revise, I decided to do it because I wanted to continue to have a tool to assist me in weight loss and maintenance and I also felt the same way with food never being a friend, Once the fluid was removed from my band And I could actually swallow my own saliva again I would go out of control at times with food, it was always a battle. Eating now with the sleeve is so different. No chest pain, no stuck feeling, just actually fullness when I have had enough. It's great.
