Well folks, I suppose everyone is in the same shoes I'm in. Nobody will post here anymore. There is no reason to feel ashamed. The band just didn't work out. It started out helping with the weight loss very well. I lost 50lbs before the complications and hunger to its toll. Like many others here, I'm looking into the sleeve. Anyone else thinking about being sleeved or has already been sleeved? If so message me if you don't want to post here. Take Care!

What exactly went wrong?

i am with elcee, what complications? did you talk to dr or see help/advice?? and if hunger took its toll, did you get fills or practice portion control? i am sorry you have had trouble..

There's a band-to-sleeve revision forum at VerticalSleeveTalk.com.

thanks, I loved my band and hate the idea of losing it. I'm sure my portion sizes didn't help at all, but when the Dr. asked me how much could I still eat, I always told him the truth (a lot). I just made myself stop eating but I was still hungry. No matter how many fills he was giving.
