jhansen71 257 Posted August 24, 2012 I failed miserably with the band and have had great success so far with the sleeve. I'm 5 months out and have lost 72 lbs. The most I had ever lost with the band was 30lbs and I gained all of that back plus friends. food always got stuck and I vomited all the time with the band. Now I can eat anything. I only wish I had done this procedure in 2009 rather than the band. You will not be disappointed. 1 Tipintx reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeaky123 1 Posted August 27, 2012 Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply. I'm getting more and more comfortable (and less scared) of the sleeve. I'm going for it !!! Just a few more appointments and then can schedule ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
