Lap band isn't working for me

I have been banded doe 5 years and have never found the right fit for mr. I have to be in the zone to loose weight. I was either to tight or not enough. Thinking about taking band out and going with sleeve. My doctor said he hardly does any lap bands any more mostly sleeve. Tells me that he isn't happy with results of lap banding. Your thoughts

I say if your insurance covers it, go for it! What ever will help you reach your goals. From what I have read, the band is not for everyone. Many get the band removed and have success with other types of WLS. I wish you all the best on becoming healthier.
