Good luck on your surgery! I am actually going to see the Doctor in one hour to have the discussion on band to sleeve. I am nervous too!!! So tired of the pain and discomfort of the band.

Good luck to both of you !!!

The band has been a great tool, but the constant ups and downs are wearing me down. I am right with you on being fed up with the vomiting and feeling miserable. Have you decided to go with the sleeve? I am hoping to get into the Dr. monday just to get unfilled AGAIN. My daughter is getting married in 2 weeks and I don't want to be miserable for the wedding. Best of luck to you! Please keep in touch.

My sister had the sleeve done about 2 years ago. She has not had any trouble with food getting stuck or vomiting. She had a great recovery and has lost about 100lbs. Not like me who had the band about 5 1/2 years ago. I am constantly having problems,vomiting food getting stuck so many fills and un-fills I can't keep track. At one point the Dr. said I had a slight slip, another un-fill, then slowly started filling again. Seems every time I get to a certain weight I have problems, like the bands slips again Right now I am trying to keep liquids down until I can get to my Dr. and tell his this is crazy, I can't keep going through this.I have lost 90lbs with my band, but can't keep going through all this pain! Seriously considering the sleeve at this point.
