Hi

I new to this sight, but not to weight loss surgery.

I had a lapband which worked great until it didn't.

I lost all my weight and more but had to have the band removed due to a slip.

I gained the majority of my weight back. There was a reason I had the band right?

I'm booked for a sleeve in Nov in Mexico as my last chance at being healthy and painfree.

Looking forward to reading your posts and gaining knowledge.

Just wanted to say welcome.

I'm so sorry you've had problems with your Band. We have a lot of band to sleeve revisions on here. I'm sure they will chime in with their stories soon. Until then ... welcome & happy reading.

Welcome to the site. I am also a lapband to VSG revision, and let me tell you, it was the best move of my life. I wish I had know about it prior to the band, and I definitely would have done it first!

Hi Mumwithnobum, what an absolute bummer to have lost all that and then had it go back on. The sleeve will not let you down like that, but it's obviously hard that you have to go through major weight loss twice in a few years. Welcome by the way.

Agree with others... In France, the gastric band is not often done any more (except on young people), and has fallen out of favour as the surgery of choice, it seems.

You will get on well with the sleeve - and no worried about anything slipping!
