Hi WaywardMama.... the endoscopic sleeve is done via the mouth not through all the little tummy punctures. They do approximately 7 layers of stitches instead of staples but the end result is the same as the normal sleeve. According to what I've researched recovery time is in some people a bit quicker and is mostly a day surgery. I hope it's as good as it sounds?! Ouch a band slippage.... not pleasant at all! Sorry you had to experience that. Are you pleased with the sleeve surgery so far?

Thank you Rainbow Warrior! Great your in the Newcastle area too! Agree ....the yoyo is soul destroying. Have lots of self inflicted comorbidities too and sick of popping pills for all that too. Hopefully with some surgery help I can also rid myself of those too and the misery that goes with it. I know it's not always a " smooth sailing" surgery but am at my wits end good luck on your journey

Hi all! I am new to this forum as of today. I have my Dr appt on 26th Sept. I have been researching and umming and arrrhhhing for the last 3 years but have made the decision to have the sleeve. I'm thinking about doing the endoscopic sleeve.... does anyone know anyone who has had it done this way?? I'm in the Hunter Valley NSW area. I had a lap band in 2005 but after 3 years had it removed. As most have done, I've tried every diet I could find and fed up with the yoyo so here goes! Sending my best wishes and thoughts to you all Warm Regards Rainbow Gypsy
