OK sleevers, any mental anguish?
Thanks for all of your responses!!! I feel so "welcome" on this board. I would go nuts if I thought the experience alwas like the band at all, and had no option for reversal. It sounds wonderfully different. I sank into a very dark place with my band. The surgeon *****moved it isn't a fan of the band at all. I'm right there with him. Constant pain....always unsure if taking a bite of food would go down successfully or come up. Living in a miserable state.
My experience at 8 months out has been nothing like your experience with the band. Nothing gets stuck. Nothing makes me sick.
Of course I mourn food and the addictive, unhealthy relationship I had with it. But enjoying a small amount of high quality protein makes me happier and more satisfied than a box of mac and cheese (most of the time). Therapy helps with the mental part. Highly recommed getting a professional to help you cope.
