I'm in my 7th year of being a "Bandster".. I've had no issues at all.

I can eat anything except rice or apple skins. I actually below goal. I started with a 54" waist now 30". The band changed my life. I find maintenance very easy. The only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

Tom, Toronto

Banded July 6 06

Tomander - with maintenance how much of a fill do you have? Just curious.

What made you want to do a sleeve? I have had my band almost a year in August and i would like a sleeve. So I am just curious.

I'm close. It will be 5 years for me in Feb. The only complication I've had was being too tight once which wasn't too big of a deal.

Mine was also done in 2006, my only issue has been reflux, time to have some Fluid removed.. I started at 150kg and have been 100kg or close to it for 3 years now..
