From Band To Sleeve Or Band To Bypass

[kparadisek 115]

I have had the lapband for almost 5 years only to gain all the weight back I lost now I'm considering the sleeve. The band didn't give me the long term results that I wanted so can anyone share their experience with the sleeve. Are you satisfied or do you wish you had considered bypass?

I have a band and am going through the process to get the sleeve. I have been reading this forum like crazy and haven't found anyone saying they didn't love their sleeve and say the band was the worst thing they'd done. I like the sleeve now because it's a stepping stone to bypass and I really don't like the bypass so if I HAD to I could still go to bypass. There's a thread specificially for revisions of band to sleeve that may help you.
