  1. I'm not sure if I am posting in the right place. I was banded in 2007. It worked well at first but after having my son 5 years ago, I cannot get this thing under control. Multiple fills. If I have even a little bit in it, i have terrible reflux. I empty it, I gain weight. I am strongly considering the revision but have some questions... I was told the band would make me feel "full". I never feel full, just pressure and "stuck". Then, I either vomit or close eyes and wait for food to go down. Does the sleeve just give you a full feeling? No pain? No vomiting? How slow do you have to eat? What happens if you over eat? Do you get problems with reflux? I really appreciate any advice or caution moving forward. I need to know what to expect this time.
