Hi Anillacookie...

I had lots of band problems and finally gave up and got a sleeve. To be honest, my story sounded a bit like yours, tons of fills and unfills, I just never had a sweet spot. I was either obstructed or I could eat anything.

A sleeve is where they make your stomach teeny tiny. The long term complications are less than a band or bypass. I LOVE my sleeve! Best thing I ever did. No fills, unfills, restriction issues, pouch dilation, esophgeal dilation, esophageal spasms, esophageal motility issues, port issues such as pain, flips, infections...none of it with a sleeve. Just a tiny stomach.

I wouldn't trade this for the world, I love my sleeve!

BTW, I didn't have all those problems above, just most of them! ;o)
