Congratulations on your new beginning. I'm waiting for my revison date (and scared as I-don't-know-what). I will be following you, so please keep us posted.
I am researching the sleeve as a revision from the lap band. Your post is a big concern of mine and everyone else I'm certain. Thanks for posting your experience. Sometimes, the many positive stories make us forget that there is another side to the WLS experience. I hope you find your way back to the losers circle soon.
