Boo!!! I hate this damn beard!!

Thanks TaiDyed! I will be sure to keep everyone updated! Lmk about approval!!! This is going to be great! Positive thinking!!!

Great job Trumpet Trinklers!!! Go you!!!

Thank you! I definitely will keep everyone updated! So much to do before so it will go by quick for sure. Yippee!!!

That's great to hear! I'm scared I will be hungry!! After about 3-4 days post op band I was starving!! I can only hope it's not the case this time around! 8 more days!!!

Ps iwannabethin.... How are you feeling??

Thanks guys. I have this guilty conscience for not disclosing everything! Lol.

I'm getting my band to sleeve revision next week and I have opted to not tell everyone I know. Only my 2 bosses and my immediate family know. However my friends from work are getting quite nosey about my scandilious leave from work coming up. I have just said I've decided to get my lap band removed. I feel guilty like I am lying! And then questions start and I don't know what to do or say!!! HELP!!!!

Wow! That's great! My RE didn't suggest surgery but the WL will definitely help. Maybe only have to try clomid. Glad to hear the insulin resistance is better. I'm also diabetic and can't wait for that to disappear!

Quick question... Anyone have facial hair due to PCOS and have the symptoms of that (or any/all) die down or go away completely after weight loss?? Thanks

Thanks Shangefan! Best of luck!!! Keep us posted!!

Same to you! Keep me posted!!! Xo

I'm going from band to sleeve in 2 weeks!!!! I'm super nervous! I know there is nothing to be nervous about but since my band and I failed each other I'm afraid of failure again although I am excited about my new journey. Auh!!!!

I'm still filled and my surgery is the 24th and my dr didn't say I had to unfill??!!?? He unfilled it for my EGD and than filled it back after.

I'm going band to sleeve July 24!! I feel a bit defeated bc I list 30lbs and within the past 26-18 months since I have gained it back. I was also diagnosed with diabetes. I also have pcos. One of the things that scares me is my hair lose. I am loosing do much now the thought of loosing more scares me!

Thanks guys! Good luck milkd!! Keep me posted with your post op stuff!!

I'm the 24th and nervous yet excited!!!

Cindy, please keep me posted.... I am going band to sleeve too! My surgery is July 24 and I'm nervous!!

I finally got my ins approval and now have a surgery date of July 24th!!!! It feels extremely real and I am now freaking out!!! I'm super nervous as I will be going from lap band to sleeve. I'm afraid this will not work either!!! Such mixed emotions... Happy nervous scared excited!!! Omg.

Bubblesbgood- thank you for your comment. I am in the same boat. Lost weight initially and gained back. Felt like a HUGE failure. I was banded 6 weeks after one of my girlfriends at work and she lost almost 90 lbs. not me!! So to know someone else who says that it was there band that failed them makes me feel better about myself. And now Im just waiting for ins approval for a date!!

Thanks guys!! I will look into it. Just awaiting my approval. =\ a bit nervous

Willpastons.... I was banded 24 months ago and have been dealing with the same thing. Although I have been diagnosed with PCOS for 18 yrs I was only newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes since November. And I didn't take it well. I have spoken to my dr and nutritionist and have decided to go band to sleeve. Let me know what happens with your journey! I feel like I hit a road block with no detour.

What's nectar protein?

Newfmom that's wonderful news! Keep us posted. I'm just finishing getting my stuff together to give to the insurance company. Hopefully sometime this summer. I am not quite sure how long it will take for an approval as I am going from band to sleeve. Prayers to help keep everything good!! Xo

Best of luck! Prayers coming your way.
