I am a veteran bandster and newbie revision, band to sleeve.

I just ate 15 chickens, 2 hams, 4 potatoes, a steak and some taffy.

Did I mess up my staple line? ;o)

(okay, I had to do this. It was a dare.)

and I too am getting tired of people asking questions like that LOL

This has been the bestest postest everest!!!! TY soooo much.....

Okay, new problem folks.

My doctor just called and told me no more Dew.

I swear! I will LITERALLY DIE if I can't have my dew! I will be dead as in dead in a casket if I can't have my Dew. By morning you will find me limp, pale, going through withdrawal, and then I will LITERALLY die!

(sigh)

In that case, you should still have a little once in a while. My doctor says it's fine and it's important not to deprive yourself or you will binge.

Dew makes me gag!

...oh, am I lost again? Which thread am I in?

And yet ANOTHER problem! I have only lost 786 pounds and I'm two weeks out of surgery. I think the sleeve is failing me, or I'm failing the sleeve. When is weight loss going to hurry??

Nobody in the history of banding EVER asks these questions so I jus' gotta know!

I had that problem too so I am a professional at this, feel free to ask me anything, ignore your Dr's orders and eat only 2 bites of food a day, washed down with 4 diet cokes. Works like a charm!

What, are you crazy? And give up the hams, fried onions, pork chops, briskets, taffy, steak, etc.? I'll go into starvation mode!

However, the sodas sound like an excellent idea! I'll try that, thanks!

O.K. Bubble. Time to get real. How is it? How does your sleeve compare to the band? Any problems? Any sliming, heartburn?? How about recovery time?

May I ask what's a "sleeve"?

I absolutely LOVE it! I am totally sold on this procedure.

Keeping in mind that I have control of head hunger at this stage of the game, I honestly forget to eat. I've been trying to increase Protein for reasons other than the obvious so I need to get four Protein shakes in a day. The other day I forgot until about 7pm. Grehlin is removed and there is no hunger, none. I am still on liquids but most do not slime, barf, or foam unless they eat too much but there are no getting stuck episodes.

I guess my bottom line is that I could have lost weight either way equally well (band or sleeve) but I think the sleeve would have been a drastically easier journey.

And NO aftercare! YEEHAW!

There is a thread called, "Wasabubblebutt is in recovery" and that explains it in detail.
