Anyone else in my boat or any sleeve people out there that can tell me about how they are doing?

Thanks

I was banded 5/08, and had it removed 12/09 due to complications.  The lowest I ever got with the band after having my stomach move (the band was in the right place) was 249. 

I regain back to 280+ in the year with out my band.

I was revised to a Sleeve on Jan 18, 11.  I am now lower than what I ever was with the band.  I am now at 245! 

I had some problems with the sleeve (got readmitted 11 post-op due to possible leak/staple line infection), but I so much happier not having the the band in me.

I was revised on April 12th from the crap band to the sleeve.  It has been the best decision ever...I'm now down 29 pounds 3 weeks out.

I love my sleeve.

Good luck!
