  5. I am sorry you got a lot of negative feedback. I was concerned about my sleeve size as well because my doctor had concerns about me getting to thin. I was a revision due to lapband complications. So I had to do two surgeries six months apart to fix everything. I actually do think he left my stomach slightly bigger . At Surgery day I was 180 wearing size sixes and some eights. Two and a half weeks out I am back to fours . So yeah the stomach size was a concern for me.

  10. Well I did love mine the first six years then well it was a flipped port then things just got worse I was a size four and six and did well. Then at the ten year mark it got bad I could now longer keep food down it herniated my esophagus and eroded into my stomach. I have to sleep sitting up or I coughed up content of stomach. I went to ER they did tests and I had to have emergency surgery two days later. Because I was so small they didn’t want to revise and yes being without my band I was starving for first time in ten years I went from size for to six and eights so dr refused to do vsg until my stomach could heal I had to weight six months. I knew I needed a tool in my life. So I fought to lose the ten pounds I gained took the classes through insurance and had vsg 2/13 slightly over six months from my band removal. The band is great until it’s not. My doctor told me ten years seems to be the magic number for most he doesn’t see bands stay longer then that really and explained that Kiaser not longer will do them because of the issues.

I do hope you meet some nice people as it’s nice to have people to relax and unwind with after a long work week.
