  1. I am having a hard time trying to decide to have the gastric sleeve. I had the lap band and only lost about 20 lbs. I threw up all the time and the band slipped and had to have it removed. That was about 5 years ago. Has anyone had a bad experience with the gastric sleeve?
  2. I was banded on 12/5. I was down 9 lbs and then when I weighed last week I was up -about 5 lbs. Now I am afraid to get back on the scales. I am having trouble with my intake since I do not feel any restriction yet. My first fill is on Jan. 3rd. I have had a deep cough since I had my surgery and also my stomach still swells. Especially if I have moved and done a lot that day. Anyone else have any of these problems?
