Vblount 0 Posted September 14, 2013 Had band done in 2006 and had problems since day one, I have lost weight but I am having the band removed and a sleeve done out of fear of putting the weight back on. I am 53 and 5 ft tall and now weight 138 after being over 200lbs to start. I am hoping this will keep the weight off without all of the uncomfortable and pain from band?? Any suggestions ???
