To Sleeve Or Not To Sleeve...

I have a band and am converting to the sleeve on Tuesday. I also have 3 co-workers who got the band and none of them had any success either. They work in another city and have struggled with getting the right fill in their bands as have I. Good luck with your decision. I feel this is my next and hopefully last step to getting healthy.

I have had the band for 5 years and have done great until this past year. I am having a revision to sleeve done this coming Friday. I started at 227 got down to 129 then have been at 160 for almost three years. I am so ready to finish losing th weight I need to. I am thankful that I did maintain at 160 though for so long considering I haven't had restriction. I am also so thankful that I literally was approved for both surgeries within 3 weeks and have no health issues at all except that I have been over weight since I had my daughter. I am so excited. Good luck to each one of you!

This site is a great resource. The people are so genuine and honest. I was considering the band at first too but after meeting with my surgeon and reading this board I am convinced the sleeve is the right choice for me. I just finished up my 6 month diet. It seemed to take forever. Reading this board really helped me during that weighing period. Good luck!
