Hi, I see youmentioned if you were at goal you couldn;t have the band removed and have ds but I am NOT at goal I actually weight more now than pre-lapband from 5 years ago. Do you know if the DS is possible then? Why did you opt for the sleeve instead of DS? Is that because you were at goal? Do you have an limitation with foods you can eat? Or any vomitting? I have always had major roblems with vomitting with the band but have had tests done & they say there arfe no problems with the band. From what I researched the DS surgery is the only one where you could eat almost all foods with no dumping, vomitting, etc. Any insight/advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks SO much!
