I got my lap band in 2011 and hated it. Worst decision I ever made. On 10/25 I had my band removed and got the sleeve. The sleeve is not easy but I'm only 5 days post op. But I have lost 12 lbs already. Everyone deals with it differently but honestly out of all my friends 5 that got the lap band, all of them have had it removed and gotten the sleeve.
Just look at all your options.

So I had to go out of town for work for 4 days. I forgot my Protein at home and with meeting after meeting didn't have much time to eat, let alone find a GNC for more Protein. I had the free hotel Breakfast (which id just grab a yogurt) and then one more meal after that for the day. So I really was getting less than 20g of protein a day. Before leaving for out of town I was on a long streak where I was losing a pound a day and I was THRILLED. I just couldn't wait to get home and weigh myself. Well, when I got home I had GAINED a pound. I couldn't believe my eyes. I ate healthy, didn't eat much of anything, drank tons of Water. only thing i did different is that I didn't take my protein supplement. So there ya are folks. It IS important.

I am having my lap band removed oct. 25th and getting the sleeve. The lap band has been nothing but pure he'll from me since I got it in 2011. I only lost 40 lbs and too have gained it back.
My band has caused a stricture within my stomach and I have no Fluid in my band, and haven't had any Fluid in over a year, but I still throw up. So I made the decision to remove it and go to the sleeve, I'm not nervous just anxious. My Dr said I will immediately feel better once I recover to not have the band and port.
I can't wait.

I feel you! I'm just hoping my financial situation will eventually improve and I can find a way to afford it when time comes. I'm not gonna borrow worries from the future.
