May 23rd Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras, Mexico

I don't have one person that's happy about my decision to get VSG. I'm scheduled for revision from lapband to VSG in May. Nobody was supportive of my lapband surgery either. It's like they are all saying "I told you so" since I've had a difficult time with the band.

I'm scheduled for revision from lapband to VSG May 23rd with Dr.Alvarez in Mexico. Current BMI is 32. I started my lapband journey on 2-28-12 at 244 lost down to 178. My band only worked for about 8 months. Have been miserable since with constant pain when I try to eat..throwing everything up..left shoulder pain. I'm currently back up to 217 lbs. I can't wait for my surgery but I'm beyond nervous!! Anyone else with a similar story??

Any hairstylist banded?? I was banded 2.29 and I was supposed to return to work today. I'm still having alot of shortness of breath and pain. I decided to take off until Wednesday instead. My job is pretty physical.

That sounds good! I was banded 2.29

I'm really needing a mentor. I don't know anyone who has had the lapband!

I'm 5 days post op. I'm still having quite a bit of pain where I'm assuming my band is located. Also alot of shortness of breath. Is this normal 5 days out?
