  1. Nysha, I am having surgery on the 21st as well. I really had a hard time with the pre-op diet too but I am making my self do it. I started and gave up and started again and I am going to get through this. It does seem to be getting better. I am a big fan of sugar free popsciles now. Hang in there.....
  2. I too have been hesitant to get the sleeve because what I went through with the Lap band errosion was so bad. I am scheduled for surgery next week and go back in forth as to whether or not I am doing the right thing. I gained all my weight back after the band was removed and cant wait to be thinner and feel better about myself. I am glad to see that you have had such success.
  3. Thats Is awesome. I am having my sleeve on 9/21/11. I had a lap band that erroded previously so I have been scared. However, I am ready to start this journey. I am so glad that you guys are doing well. Your success is encouraging.
  4. I am not a fan of the lap band. I had one errode in 6 months and I am getting ready to have a sleeve. I am really torn between scared and excited. I am hoping this works better.
  5. I too had a band errode and its been 3 years Ive gained all my weight back and am scheduled to have a sleeve next week. I am very afraid having gone through such a bad experience before and I know this surgery is going to be more complicated do to my damaged stomach. Its nice to know that other people have made it past this and have somewhat of an understanding.
