I have the band and do not want it. I am trying to get the sleeve. I think it will be a matter of time before the band will be removed from market due to the amount of issues. My band truly failed me. I have no slippage or dilated pouch. I have had nothing but issues with my band since the get go. Never found the sweet spot and more time than not, cannot keep regular food down. I am done with this thing!

How long have you had it?

only 3 1/2 years. I lost almost 50 pounds and have kept it off, but the misery of struggling with food is ridiculous. there are times I can't even drink Water and my reflux, which I never had prior to the band was atrocious.

Ooh my, I'm so sorry you are going through this :(

I've had mine for almost 10 yrs. Never had any complications, till some regurgitation a few months ago. I only got it if I ate anything after 7pm. Got all the liquid out and slowly adding it but in that process I've gained 15lbs. I can't even loose what I gained and have no issues now but want to do a revision :/
