I was revised to sleeve on June 6 th they removed the band in the same surgery ! I can't even tell you how awesome this is ! I can eat grilled chicken haven't had that in 5 years ! The sleeve allows you to eat healthy food so sorry that I spent so much wasted time with that ! I am 10 weeks post op I have lost 30 lbs ,I started at 212 and hit 182 today wahoo ! You will love the difference no episodes of being stuck or vomiting and recovery was really a breeze! Best of luck to you it was the right choice for me !
