    I so agree with you. I am sure that doctors still doing the band are in it for the money. The success rate is so not nearly as good as with the sleeve. Life with the band is absolutely miserable.

    Congratulations to you!!

    I sure hope I'm as happy and successful as you are. The band is horrendous and I get so anxious and depressed eating. I cant wait to be free from it. Hopefully 12/9 I can get some answers and a surgery date in the next couple of weeks. Congrats and Good luck on your continued success.

    Good to hear that band to sleeve r successful..I don't want to go into surgery believing revisions from band to sleeve will be hard to succeed.
