I had the lab band revision to sleeve at the same time my husband had a sleeve done. I had initially lost 127 pounds with the band, but had gained about 55 of it back. I have lost 15 pounds to his 83 at this time. Although I am so glad I no longer have the band due to the problems with reflux, I am very discouraged about my lack of weight loss compared to my husbands. Although I keep trying to remind myself this is my second weight loss surgery and his first and he was a very, very large man. Also I seem to tolerate foods better than he does, although neither of us can tolerate sweets very well(makes us feel bad). With the lab band there were certain foods that just would not pass through the band and I had to write off, but with the sleeve, although I may only be able to take two bites I can eat any type of food and not worry. I don't even know why they do lap bands, they are a waste of money! Wish I had known more about them before I got mine.
