Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm considering having the sleeve. I don't know enough about it. I had the band, Dr. A put the band in in November of 2008. I had lost 113 lbs. by September 2009. I was soooo excited. However, in December of 2009 I became very ill and threw up for six days straight thus causing the band to slip. It was horrible. Dr. Lambert, in Batesville, unfilled the band and suggested removal. I didn't want to have it removed b/c I loved my band, but then it only got worse. On July 4, 2010 they had to do emergency surgery to remove the band. It broke my heart to loose it. I can't maintain on my own. I need something. My husband is too scared to get the band again and is wanting me to get the sleeve. I was just wondering from those of you that have had the sleeve if you could tell me the pros and cons of the sleeve. What are the dangers of the sleeve?
