Hey ladies! I was just sleeved on 12/28 after a band failure in June. I had an erosion that put a nice whole in my stomach which resulted in emergency surgery. A scary time. After the sleeve I was in shock at how good I felt and quickly I recovered. Minimal soreness compared to after my band surgery. Removing the port from the band seems to cause much more soreness than the sleeve surgery, but I don't have that feeling of needing to throw up like I did with the band. I've lost 17 pounds in 20 days and so far I'm loving that I went ahead with this surgery! Good luck!!!
