I would say the sleeve would be a great surgery for you. If the band worked or you the sleeve should be even better. It does tend to take a little bit longer and a bit harder to lose weight with a revision. However the band has proven to be a very bad long term weight loss surgery so you aren't alone in needing another surgery. Usually when there is a slip the remove the band and have you revise to a different surgery because second bands rarely work. The sleeve is a great surgery and has worked great for many people. Good luck to you!
