I'm not one that responds well to negative reinforcement so I think that's part of the problem.

Mac I am glad you are around so I can ask you questions as you get farther away from surgery. I am considering at some point having my band removed and getting a sleeve. Having a band around my stomach scares me. (Especially if I go into the complications section of he board) I actually talked a friend out of getting the band and getting a sleeve.

You're a moderator on LBT and are scared of having a band? Ack, I don't need to hear this days before surgery!

I went to Wally World for supplies today. I am so not a fan of that place! I got 3 different brands of protein shakes, SF popsicles, Gas X, wirefree bra, liquid Tylenol, and turlet paper b/c yanno, I'm weird and prefer TP over sandpaper.

Even in that scary Swedish study-- that I find suspect --where they had 40% requiring re-surgery by the 10 year mark, that means 60% didn't. So more than half were fine. Plus I think that the real number is probably closer to 25%.
Plus, once you have a band, it's really slippage and erosion that are the biggies. Those rates are much lower. They were high enough that I didn't want one put in, but are definitely not high enough to take out a functioning band IMO.

I am sorry if I scared you SickNTired. My band is just fine. I am just a worry wart. It's like Mac said, slippage and erosion are possible and I am sure you must know that. I should stay out of the complications section of this board.
I had just never heard of the sleeve when I got my band. I just like the idea of never having to worry about a fill ever again.

| That's why people who have them bring them up. It's one thing to look into it and say "that's not for me", but it's another to find out *afterwards* that there are more surgery types than RnY and Lap Band. That really sucks.

I totally agree. I knew the RNY was just too scary for me, but I never even knew a sleeve was an option.
