busysportsmom reacted to Oregonpenr in Is the sleeve really "just as good"
Just my experience.. I had the band with its ups and downs for 9 years. I lost little, gained it all back. Had constant issues with denser foods so I always turned to sliders. Bad choices and poor nutrition became the norm because of a very stressful job and long hours. I was sleeved in November and so far my biggest regret is that I chose the band over the sleeve the first time. I'm 5 weeks post op, down 35 pounds and able to eat denser Proteins in small portions with no issue at all. I believe this was the right choice for me and I will be successful this time.

I had the band. Hated it! Vomiting all the time. Had it removed a year ago and just got the sleeve. I love it! It feels so much better. No sickness at all no vomiting. I can tell when to stop eating. With the band my first bite always made me vomit. I'm 2 weeks post op and down a total of 24 lbs. I'm feeling great and very optimistic. I wish you great success which ever choice you make. ????

Same Boat! I've had my band for 4 years and am getting the sleeve in 1.5 weeks. So afraid of failing, but excited to use my new tool and make better decisions. I agree that a support group is what I need this time around!

So my hubby had the bypass, I had the sleeve. He is loosing weight faster, I have to work harder and it's slower. BUT, I am getting stronger and healthier by working harder. I can do things I have been able to do in years. The sleeve hasn't effected my meds I have to take for my bipolar. The absorption seems to be the same. My hubby hasn't had complications nor have I, but his recovery time has been longer. I think...for me...the sleeve was the better choice. I am changing my bad habits and learning healthier ones. It's slow, but constant. This is my experience.
