Dont get me wrong. I love my band. I was banded a little over 2 years ago. I lost most of the weight in the first year. I have lost about 130 Lbs total but i still have 20-30 left ot go. I am OK at this weight but i would like to reach the end. More importantly though I live a longg distance from and fill doctors or after care. I have had ot return to Mexico for all fills and adjustments. My duaghter, also banded, had a problem with slippage that resulted in the need for additional surgery. Even theough she had the best surgeon in the world, Dr Aceves :thumbup: its still something to think about. Seems like the Sleeve is gaining in populatiry and doesnt require the same maintenance. That would be a big plus for me. I have been researching on al the boards, including the newest one Weight Loss Surgery Forum and it looks like I am not the only one thinking about this. Anyone have any advice

Thanks

in my opinion, the band seems to be working for you, i don't understand why you would think about changing if its working, the chances of something major going wrong a minor, if something did happen then maybe it would be worth looking into changing but really, why fix it if it ain't broke?

The fills are a positive, if you need the band loosened for some reason (illness,pregnancy) etc you can. The sleeve is not something you can change to suit your life.

Just my two cents worth :-)
