Wow! Although it appears like I am new to the board, I am an old banster. Congrats on the upcoming surgery. I am definitely inspired by your stories. I was banded in 2008, lost 83lbs. I had a baby and think that's where my band may have slipped. Anyhow, I have gained some weight over the last two years as a result of my pregnancy. But my band has slipped with a moderate dilatation. I have to get my band removed, and I am thinking of the sleeve. So, thanks for sharing your story. I still have a long way to go while figuring out if i will be self-pay or getting an insurance plan that will cover it.
Best,
Belle
