Are there any banders five years along on here please?

Ive been for my consultation this morning and the surgeon now advises the sleeve for most people as there seems to be more and more failures with the bands because of over eating, resulting in the bands becoming embedded or just because of the patients lack of general discipline needed to maintain the health of the band. I'm very confused no and would really like to talk to some experienced banders.

My surgeon now does les and less band operations due to the failure mine failed but I loved it when it was in but must say my bypass is great but friends who have had sleeves all say they are very good they seem to eat more than me and can eat anything bands struggle with certain foods take care
