I Have A Band And I Think I Want The Sleeve...any Help Please....

[beachbound99 2]

Hello my name is Amy and i had the band put in dec 13th 2010. I lost 30 lbs not all that great but allot of it is my fault. i cant eat almost anything so its slider foods. I have had a total unfill and still no meat. i will choke on meat for hrs. i have noticed its getting worse. I go back on the 9th and i am going to talk to him but i did read that some people have had problems with the sleeve and meat ..... any help any stories you have PLEASE.... is it worth it to get this band out ?? i am happy with the 30 lbs my bp is normal and I work out when i dont work. i just thought 2 years in I would be out of the 200's. some people have lost 100 lbs in 6 months ?! but every journey is different

Thank you

amy

There is a forum on revisions from band to sleeve and you might want to check that out.

i got the band in February 2009 and revised to the sleeve on July 9. I lost about 60 pounds the first year of the band, then regained most of it. In the four weeks since my revision, I have lost about 30 pounds. I feel great, have more energy and am certain I will continue to lose weight. I am thrilled I made this decision. Hated the band; love the sleeve.
