Hi,
I was banded in February 2008 with a start weight of 220. My lowest weight was 180 and I never lost more than that.
Due to other problems with the band, like food getting stuck and vomiting, the Dr. suggested the sleeve.
So I am seriously considering it.
My concern is that I failed with the band. It did not erode or slip like I see so often.
I just didn't lose the weight and I ate around the band.
So I'm seriously wondering if I will succeed with the sleeve.
I would like to think that part of it is the band in that the food got stuck and I never
felt full. But it would be comforting to me if I heard from someone who didn't lose a lot
of weight with the band but did with the sleeve.
Thoughts?
