Hi 

I'm a lap band patient that had disappointing results.  I did manage to loose some weight but got pregnant and had to have my band emptied.  I gained 35lbs with my pregnancy and am not tolerating fills well since.  I'm considering a revision to the sleeve but am having trouble finding info on the possible side effects.  I know all about life with the band but how is eating with the sleeve different?  There are so many foods that I can't eat now because they get stuck.  Curious to hear your reply!  Also how was your recovery? Thanks and congrats on your success!

I revised to the RNY not the sleeve, but I understand that the post op lifestyle is the same--in terms of the recommended diet plan. I really don't have issues with eating the foods that I am supposed to eat. I haven't really tried bread so I don't know if that would get stuck, but we aren't supposed to eat that anyway. Friday night I ate some salmon that was too dry and it got stuck. It felt like the band days... :( but that has literally only happened 3 times since the revision. I truly couldn't be happier.
