What my band should have done.

I'm only a few weeks post op from my band to sleeve revision but I can already feel the difference. I love being able to eat only a small portion and feel full without all of the stupid green zone crap.

Good to hear! I get my surgery in a week!!! CANNOT WAIT and I hope it goes smoothly. I hated my band, and have had nothing in for 4 years, but I think the band screwed up my metabolism. Glad that you're enjoying the experience so far.

I had a band for over 10 years. Only partially effective. Nothing for 2 years and then the sleeve 2 months ago. So much better than the band. Down 37 lbs.

Same here! I had my revision June 6th and I'm just so happy with my new life! I'm not hungry at all, I eat a tiny bit and I'm full, and I don't have to run to the bathroom with that aweful pain in the chest after having one bite of chicken! This is night and day!

My revision surgery is scheduled for July 12th. CAN NOT WAIT!!! I am hoping there won't be any issues with having the band removal and sleeve done at the same time.
