I am also going from band to sleeve on March 2nd 2015. Tired of the band with tons of stuck episodes running to the bathroom. And on top of it eating as much as I want. Lost around 50 Lbs from band and gained another 20-25 Lbs which seems really unreasonable for spending so much of money. I am excited to get the band out. Let me know if there are friends in Maryland around Salisbury Area who would like to be friends in the journey.
