To answer your post on my profile:

I am not a big fan of the band because of all the long-term problems. However, I think, most likely, you'll be successful with any of the WLS out there because you are considered a lightweight.

So it's really just a matter of which ones addresses your food issues the best and has a post-op lifestyle you can live with.

That was the sleeve for me. It removed my ghrelin and that decreased my appetite and there aren't fills and unfills to deal with. Plus, I was happy to start losing right away and lose quickly. I could have lived with the slower weight loss of the band, but I was happy I didn't have to.
