I'm soooooo excited!! My sleeve is scheduled for June 15, and it's been a year since I had my Band out. The sleeve seems to be so different! All the things I didn't like about my Band---hunger, PBing, fluctuating restriction, all seem to be a thing of the past with the Sleeve. Thanks you guys!!! I'm really jazzed!! Did you have any hair loss?? that's the only thing I'm a little freaked out about!! Thank you, Suzy

:confused1:Hi,My name is Suzy: I had a Lapband in 2007, lost 60 lbs. felt great, was 10 pounds away from my ultimate goal wt, in 2009 had a major slip and had it removed. So I've been bandless for a year now and gained 20 pounds--despite exercising, going vegan, and trying to eat healthy, the weight is creeping up. I'm freaking out and just found out that my insurance will cover a sleeve. How do you feel, restriction wise with the sleeve?? With my band I had fairly often PBs, discomfort, and other days, could eat alot. I only had 5 fills om 2 years. In between small meals I got really hungry!!! I'm really hoping that with the sleeve the hunger is less!! Please former bandsters, let me know the differences!!! Thank you, Suzy
