Congratulations!!!

A year after my band to sleeve revision and it is great.

I was scared too. A lot of it was the unknown especially since I had such a hard time with the band. All I could think about was another surgery and it not working. Not the case, my sleeve is great.

The first few months were a learning time but if you go back and research Frisco's posts on the sleeve forum and if you follow his advice I am sure you will be successful. Of course you might not want to follow his advice if it conflicts with your Dr.

After a year I still don't get hungry.

Wish you lots of luck.......
