Hi, I am new here. I was banded in 2006, lost 90 lbs, was looking great at 180 lbs. Had some major life event changes, band was too tight, gained back almost 50 lbs over the years since. Doc recommending sleeve. I had a hard time after my band surgery, was in a lot of pain. Just wanted to know how you got through it and is the sleeve better than the band? Why, what are the differences. Were you in a lot of pain after band removal?Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I guess I'm scared!
