Carlotta1 401 Posted January 29, 2014 I had the lap band 7 years ago. It did not work for me, I never felt full. I had the sleeve on dec 9 and it is so much different with the band I don't have the hunger pangs like I used to. Prior to my surgery I was always hungry. My doctors are moving away from the band due to complications with it. I am happier with my sleeve and seeing more success. Review the topic under sleeve forum for those who had the lap and and converted to the sleeve. This will give u a better perspective . Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
