Hey people! I just wanted to know how people in my group are doing? I gave had a lot of struggles, but im trying to refocus. Please give me sime feedback and encouragement. I desperately need it.

I'm one of the bandsters from 2008. I did very well the first couple of years. By year 3, I got a fill that was too tight and everything went downhill from there. I ended up gaining most- not all of my weight back. This past Wednesday - 2/4/15 I had revision surgery - band removed and did the gastric sleeve. The surgeon said my band had slightly slipped & I had a hernia which he removed. I really don't want to fail again.

Iam also considering revision from the lapband to the sleeve. I had my lapband since 2008. I haven't lost very much weight and am constantly wanting to eat, even though I can't keep much down. My eating times are between 12pm and 9pm because this is when my band loosens up to allow food to pass through. Who did your revision surgery and what are the major differences you notice between the band and the sleeve?
