band to sleeve

Hi Shirley! Welcome BACK!!!!

Long time no see!

*hugs*

Hi Shirley!

Welcome to the GSS! I haven't had the band although I was contemplating it at one point. I was rather put off by the stories that many banders have of productive burping, stuck events, slippages etc. My surgeon also felt that the sleeve was a better option for me. So I am booked in for the 2nd of February for my sleeve. You will find many stories here of people who have revised from band to sleeve and have been not only successful in losing weight, but have found living with the sleeve far easier than the band.

Come across to the February 2012 sleevers group which is listed in the sleevers monthly topic threads. We are supporting each other for our sleeves and there is also a former bander there as well.

Hi everybody



Keen to talk to anyone, re the band to sleeve, as i am booked for the 6th Feb 2012.

I had the band removed in April 2011, and of course put on all the weight that I had lost previously, no, not in those few months, but about 12kgs, my band was great for about 2 1/2 years, and then started to go weird, couldn't seem to eat much but yogurts custards and soups...not much fun!!

I am just hoping that anyone can just give me a insight of how they all went, would much appreciated..thanks
