Would you get the band if you had a chance have a "do over"

I'm not trying to be rude but if all I could eat was mushy foods then I would be headed back to my dr. I'm 12 days post op and have to force myself to eat, but I wasn't a big eater before the band. What does the gastric sleeve do differently? I've been told you can't eat certain things with that too.

I personally love my band and after losing 126 lbs, I am thrilled with how it worked for me, but I know it is not for everyone...Had I been any heavier, I would have done the sleeve over the band but I never would have done Bypass!!!

I did go back to my doctor several times only to cry all the way back home. All I was doing was throwing up and not losing weight at that. He even suggested that we put a very slight fill to see what would happen. I went home only chocking on my saliva everytime I would try to lay down. Another visit I asked if they had some type of diet program that I could follow since I am apt to follow a diet then try to figure out what to eat. They didn't even have a diet program.
