Had Lapband Surgery March, 2008. Lost 114 pounds with band before it slipped and had it removed late 2012. After band removal I gained back 50 pounds. Then I had Sleeve surgery February, 2013 and have lost that plus more for a total weight loss of 127.8 pounds so far. I would like to lose another 15 or 20 pounds but I'm in no hurry. I recommend the Sleeve over Lapband.
