Hi everyone, Hope you have a safe and cool 4th of July. I just wanted to update you, I had a fill on June 28th. 1/2 cc. Since that day, I am down 8 lbs. I am so excited. Finally a downward movement. I go back in 3 month. We will decide on a fill then. Be safe.

All I can say is ... the haters can kiss my (thanks to my band) cute, small(er..) bee-hind!! I find that kind of thing so ridiculous. All of these kinds of surgery seem to work really well when done by good surgeons and on people who work the tool they are given. I don't view one as better than another -- I think it's really a matter of personal situation and preference.
That said, I'm hearing good things about the sleeve from a few former bandsters who had to revise to the sleeve due to complications. But, otherwise, I don't know too much about it. The band worked very well for me -- I'll be 4 years out in October, and I've been at or under goal for more than 2 years.
Best,
Catherine

i am a newbie, but in the short amount of time I have spent researching bariatric surgery/message boards/etc, I have been AMAZED at all the DRAMA out there between sleeve, bypass, and band patients!!! I mean come on people, we all have the same GOAL... to lose weight and get healthy?! yeesh.

Hi DeAna N, thanks for friendly welcome. I wish you all the best.
