    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    Hi all my surgery date is December 26 I am NOT new to the website , I had the lap band for 18 months and then had to get it removed due to a hiatal hernia! Even though this will be my 3rd surgery getting first getting my lab in and then getting the lap band removed and now getting the sleeve it doesn't get any easier excited but nervous

    excited but nervous

    Thank u wishing I would have just done the revision when I the lap and removed instead of going through a 3rd surgery.
  10. I had my band for about 18 months an I loved it lost 70lbs with it, then a few months ago I started vomiting and could not keep anything down, have an upper GI done and show that I had a hiatal hernia and needed to get my been removed. My doctor was going to do the sleeve revision at that time but I just wanted my band out, thought I could keep the weight off by myself but I am slowly gaining it back. And my lap been out August of 2013 just found out I was approved for the sleeve. I am nervous because my doctor said that if there's too much scarring from the lapband and he can't do the sleeve he may have to do gastric bypass.
