Hi Everyone,

I'm 48 years old, 5'1". Have had a weight problem since 1991. I had Diabetes II, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, High Cholesterol. Congested Heart Failure in my family history. I had lapband surgery on 04 April 08. I just hated. I did what I was suppose to. However, I was always starving. Yes, I had my fills and no the band did not slip. I lost only 17 lbs and then gained it all back. 20 May 09, I had the lapband removed and got sleeved. I'm so happy with this, it's working so much better for me. I still get hungry but not starving like I was before with the lapband. So far, I have lost 31 lbs. I'M SO LOVIN MY SLEEVE!!! :tongue_smilie:

    Congratulations on your success! I was first looking at getting the lapband, but after reading stories like yours, I changed my mind. I'm so happy that this is working out for you!
