Hi everyone! So it’s been awhile since I’ve been on here. I had the lapband for 9 years and did amazing! Until I needed emergency surgery to have it removed ? that was two years ago...I’ve gained all my weight back!

I was wondering what is your experience from going to the band to sleeve? Pros and cons?

Thank you

Hi

had my band removed 2018 January

had sleeve done yesterday

I have 2 friends that went from having bands to RNY. Both have now lost more than they ever had with their bands.

That’s awesome. Congrats!

Ohh bypass, I do hear that you lose a lot with bypass....I just want to get down to 155-160 where I was. It was a perfect weight. I just don’t want to get too skinny if that even makes sense ??‍♀️

I'm so sorry something similar happened to me. I had a band for over six years and did great till it slipped and had to be removed. I gained a lot of the weight back and I had my sleeve done two months ago.

Good luck. This really sucks but I know we can do this!
