band coming out Sleeve going IN

By swanssl

I had the Band 2 years ago....I HATE it, I have thrown up everyday since I had it put in my body....now, I am having the band taken out on Nov. 30th and the Sleeve done on January 20th! Why do I have to wait 8 weeks in between surgeries? Did anyone else have to do this? I only lost around 30 pounds with the lapband. Now I am afraid that the sleeve will not work for me. Anyone elese switch to the sleeve that has the same fears?

 

Scared,

Susie :ohmy:

    Hi Susie,

    Welcome to VST! I know Tiffykins who posts regularly in the blog section had a revision to the sleeve from the band, but she is visiting family this week. You may want to post this in the "tell your story" part of the forum. I have found these ladies and gents to be very supportive and super helpful. There are many that have revised from band to sleeve, there is even a board in the forum area regarding revisions to the sleeve.

    I just want to wish you luck on your journey!
