SLEEVE OR RNY AFTER LAP BAND SLIP AND REMOVAL
I had surgery a month ago and have lost approximatley 20 pounds since surgey. I think it all depends on you and how you follow your doctors advice and plan for you. Not that I am good at it but exercise is the key to increased weight loss.
Hope that I have answered some of your questions. Good luck on your journey. I was also a prior band with it lasting about 2 years, however I had alot of difficulty with it and in the end slipping.
Sincerly,

Thank you for those responses very informative just wonder how much slower is weight loss with the sleeve? I mean with in the first 6 months?Who cares?
To be honest I am going to bet it is about the same. But let's say that it takes you three months longer in the end to get to goal with a sleeve vs. RNY (and I don't believe that to be the case). Who cares? How will that affect the quality of your life over a lifetime of potential complications, expensive labs, expensive vitamins, and metabolic disorders starting about 3 years post op?
Bypass... risk of bowel obstructions for life
Mega supplements
Expensive labs
Vitamin deficiencies
Seizure disorders
Metabolic disorders (losing a pound 3 years post op RNY is NOTHING like losing a pound today, it is night and day)
I can go on, shall I?
