Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hello all, i am new to this forum and have a few questions, i do not want to seem lazy but i did not have time to search through all the archives etc to answer a couple questions. i see alot of people are switching from the band to sleeve and i wonder why, do they essentialy not do the same thing? with the pouch you can only eat so much and it is full, with the sleeve, you can only eat so much and it is full, what is the difference, can the sleeve stretch out to the same size as your original stomach, or is it the fact that the pouch with a band leaves the stomach almost empty and with that a hunger, i am planning surgery but i am not sure which one to get, i just dont want the band to not do the job and have to 3-4 years later get the sleeve anyway, FYI, i am a male 37, with a BMI of 56.
