Hi Sunshine as the same as you I had my band privately with THG - not te best experience I must say, I had to have emergency removal by NHS as had no help from THG - the NHS have taken over my treatment now and I am having assessments for bypass or sleeve - How are you finding sleeve compared to your band?

It is still early days but I love the fact of not having any tightness around my chest. I also used to get left shoulder pain after eating. I feel really good. Still managing a few spoons at a time. Good side is I've lost 10 kgs since op 3 weeks ago. I also love the fact that I don't have to go for fills anymore. Will keep you updated on how I'm doing but so far so good. Good luck
