NO, I have had complications with the band and revised with the band and now have had the sleeve for about a year. Next was gall bladder and I now have permanent GI "issues". I love my sleeve and it has been very easy to manage. Am I glad I lost 100+ lbs.....yes, Would I do it again ....absolutely not. It has been too high a price to pay.

Yes I would have but I would not have gotten the lap band if I qualified for the sleeve!! My insurance would only cover Gastric Bypass or the lap band. I thought the Gastric was a little to serious for my body BMI and I did not qualify for the sleeve which is what I wanted so I had to settle for the band. So I would have to say yes because I am still loosing weight even though it is not as fast as i want it to but I have to be patient but I am loosing weight and I am happy about that!!

Absolutely YES! I have so much more energy. My life is so much better. If I'd known then what I know now! But I am going to hit my next 50 years running!
