Jacinda Martin

I too was also told that there wasn't anything wrong with my band, even though I can't keep a fill in and haven't for several yrs, I tried it a few months ago AGAIN and ended up making an emergency trip on the weekend to get an unfill so I could swallow liquids again. I am so frustrated with this whole situation, I was banded in Mexico in 05 and I had no problems the first yr then all hell broke lose, never did find my sweet spot as they call it!

Thank you all so much for the answers, I know every person is different in the way their body reacts to food, I just don't want to make the mistake again and fail again, I am praying this is the tool I need.

I was banded 8yrs ago, and I have gained back to where I started 320lbs, the first year I did great, then I have struggled for so many years. I am a food addict, and I wondering if I go with the sleeve will I have better luck with my control, there is a reason why we are so overweight and since I failed with the band I am afraid of failing with sleeve also. I know each person is different, but those that have gained a significant amount while having the band can you tell me how the sleeve is different, how do you know when you are full, with the band we all know it would come back up. I am self pay so I am going to have to go back to Mexico to have this procedure done, is there a doctor that one recommends more than others? I am sorry I am just having a hard time processing the difference with the band and the sleeve if we struggle with this addiction.
