Yes I was told by radiologist and the surgeon that did my lapband in the U.S. that my stomach was left too large and the reason for always hungry was too much of the fungus was left in place. I feel totally different this time. I am not hungry now and I can only take in 2-3 ounces at a time and feel full. I went to Mexico for the resleeve and not the same surgeon who did the sleeve. He offered a gastric bypass or a band around the stomach that was left. I feel great!

That is great. I have done great since I was resleeved. I am not hungry and I feel my restriction this time. I saw my doctor in the states and he could definitely see a change in the size of my pouch. I have lost 18 pounds now. I am glad my band is gone. I like being able to eat all foods just small portions

I had a lap band 2004 lost only about 20 pounds. I decided 4 years later to follow-up with my surgeon. At that time found a leak in the port that was changed and I lost 85 pounds and kept the weight off until fall 2013, another problem with the band.. I decided to get a sleeve. I got the sleeve 1/2014 which was unsuccessful. I was always hungry, no restrictions. I gained a total of 40 pounds before I was resleeve May 19th and have lost 12 pounds so far. I feel great, not hungry. I know with the sleeve there wasn't enough stomach removed according to the upper GI series. I had no problems with removal of the band. I am glad the band is gone because of all the food restriction. I couldn't eat salads, chicken, etc without vomiting, feeling like food was stuck. I think the resleeve is working and so glad I had it done!

Hello everyone, need to give an update. I didn't have surgery May 18th, was dehydrated and no one could get the IV. I had my resleeve yesterday. Everything is going well so far. I left the hospital today for the hotel that has a nurse and physician there if problems. So far I am happy and I think doing well

I had a sleeve a year ago, had no weight loss. The sleeve was too large or stretched. I have gained about 40 pounds since my band was removed

Dr.Rodriguez

I don't think 80 percent was cut away maybe because of scarring. I am supposed to mail a copy of disc to Dr Rod. I don't think I stretched it out. I have been talking to Jamie for about 8 months about how I was feeling, always hungry from day one.

Band7 I did well with the band, had a revision and has gained 22 pounds since having it. I have had a upper GI and only about 50 percent of my stomach removed. My problem is will do it, trying to decide

I am reading all the post and excited for you all. I had my sleeve in Mexico. Dr Rod did the surgery removed the band and sleeve the same day. I didn't have a drain but everything went great. I plan on having a resleeve and hoping Dr Rod will do. I do have a backup plan
