I had the lap-band in May 2007. Well, that didn't work out at all. All that kept happening was that food would get caught in the little pouch and I would throw up yet still be very hungry. So, after I had all of the liquid removed from the band, I still had trouble some times. It usually hit me in the morning or when I went out to eat (of course).
So now I am trying the gastric sleeve. It makes so much more sense than the lap-band and it gets rid of that grenlin that makes me hungry. My surgery date is 10/25/2010.
