I'd LOVE to but you have to be HONEST.
And in return be mine, and I'll be HONEST. And I'm 50 and went from Band to Sleeve on Nov 14

I have BCBS and my BMI was high enough that I didn't have to gain weight.
My BEST ADVICE is to tell you to PRAY, because I know for a FACT that GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST ADVICE

We are suppose to ENCOURAGE and LIFT each other, not try to tear each other down.
So I'd PRAY AND ASK GOD TO REMOVE ALL NEGATIVE PEOPLE FROM MY LIFE.
It's obvious they DON'T LOVE US NOR MEAN US ANY GOOD, because If They Did, THEY WOULD PRAY FOR US, ENCOURAGE US, LIFT US AND SUPPORT US AND OUR DECISIONS.
THE ONLY REASON THIS SHOULD NOT BE DONE IS IF ONE GETS THAT FROM GOD,
BECAUSE ONLY HE KNOWS WHAT TRULY BEST FOR US.
Matthew 7:1-2 KJV
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Ephesians 4:29 KJV
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
So PLEASE Disregard and Block out any negativity as Best You Can, and PRAY if that person should still be in your life
In closing, SOME PEOPLE ARE BEST and EASIER LOVED AT A DISTANCE.

I had the band in July 2013 and like you've said, I did not have much success. The reason was they could never get me in what they call the Green Zone. I was always in the Yellow with little to no restrictions. And I hit the Red one time, that was horrible. I could not swallow my own saliva.
Moving forward, earlier this year I decided to go from the band to the sleeve, ESP since my insurance BCBS said they would pay for up to 2 Bariatric Surgeries. I had the revision done on Nov 14th and even though I almost backed out at the hospital, I am so glad that I didn't.
I feel the restrictions when I eat and when I'm satisfied and not full, and I've been losing little at a time since I started my Pre-Op.
Also, it's said they those who have the sleeve this way tend to list slower than those who did the sleeve without a revision, but I Strongly Believe, if your insurance cover and/or you can afford you won't regret doing the revision.
Last, and BEST ADVICE, PRAY AND SEE WHAT GOD TELLS YOU TO DO.
I DID THAT AND I BELIEVE GOD APPROVED ME TO DO IT.

I HAD 2 C-SECTIONS AND THE PAIN FROM THIS SURGERY WAS NOT AS BAD AS THE PAIN IN YOUR ABDOMEN FROM THE C- SECTIONS. THIS AREA FOR THIS SURGERY IS HIGHER UP.
Nevertheless, COME WHAT MAY
I STAND IN AGREEMENT FOR A SUCCESSFUL SURGERY AND SPEEDY RECOVERY ACCORDING TO GOD'S PERFECT AND HOLY WILL.
IN JESUS NAME I PRAY

Hi
I actually started this Bariatric Surgery in the beginning of 2013. I had the lap band put in July 2013.
My HW ever was 255. My LW after the band was 225, and because I had problems with them getting me in the Green (Right) Zone. I couldn't lose anymore and as of the beginning of 2016 I was at my highest post Lap Band in 2013 which was 244.4. Considering to have a revision, I called my insurance company who said the maximum number of Bariatric Surgeries was 2, I decided to start the Process. I had my revision done in one day on Nov 14, 2016, the day after my 50th Birthday, at which time I was down to 231. Also, I actually almost backed out the day of surgery, but so glad I didn't. As of today Dec 17, 2016 I'm down to 218.8, AND I'M DETERMINED WITH THE HELP OF GOD TO REACH MY GOAL.
A suggestion for anyone considering any of these surgeries for the first time or revision, PLEASE PRAY AND ASK GOD, WHICH I DID EACH TIME, AND HE GAVE ME THE OK EACH TIME.
SO HERE I AM TODAY.
Ps I'd recommend the Sleeve Over The Band. Yes the band can be reversed and said to be the safest, but if you don't get the Right Fill, you'll probably end up like me losing then gaining some back and headed back in the wrong direction overall.

I just lightly rubbed over mine when they itched and it normally helped.
Also, benadryl has something for itch that goes on top of the skin, but with this I'd check with the doctors office first about it.
