@@LPSteven, thanks for the comment.... And congratulations on you and your wife's success! To answer your question re: band vs. sleeve...... Mainly personal choice, we have seen many bands fail (although I have heard of sleeves not being successful as well). There was also the "fill" issue and prior to mining to Palm Springs we were over 100 miles from the surgeon (inconvenient). We have been looking at options for over 4 years and the surgeons we have talked with recommended the sleeve over the other options. We know WLS isn't a cure but a tool to help reach the goals we have. Again, you are looking great and I am very happy for your success......hoping the same for us ????!
