Sleeve Anyone?

I thought about revising my LB to the sleeve as I've had problems with fills - being too filled and having acid reflux (severe) for several months after twice now....but my insurance only allows one weight loss surgery so I'd have to pay for it. At the time I was thinking about it as then I wouldn't need fills and I'd have faster weight loss. I belong to one support group where the sleeve is done as much as the lapband unlike my other support group where 90% of the people are RNY patients...and the sleeve people have less problems with malabsorption of vitamins etc. so they don't need as many supplements and they seem to have better weight loss. I'm still on the fence but I figured I'd try to follow the lapband plan more closely and see what results I get it that...time will tell if I'm willing to go in to debt for a revision...just my 2 cents...

(Since my surgery I've lost 52 lbs. but still want to lose 40 lbs. at least...and I'm 18 months out of surgery - at least with the lapband you still have the window of weight loss with band adjustments unlike the other surgeries - or am I deluding myself?)

Good thoughts here..it's hard to say but i have to say..i will explore the sleeve if i struggle beyond a year with the babd
