Hi somehow managed to delete your PM though I read it first. What I liked about sleeve was that it didn't require the adjustment and there was no chance of band slippage or erosion; just seemed that long term managment was simpler. But I get the issues about lack of reversibility. There's also much less cumulative experience with it.

Re the port: yes, I can feel it, but can't see it. I don't think someone who didn't know it was there or wasn't looking for it could feel it. I'm a doc and I'm not tempted to go near it with a needle... but we'll see in a few months or years. : )

Good luck, feel free to contact me any time.

Susan
