  12. JammyDancer so far I am already glad I had the revision and will just get better everyday. Make sure to follow the pre-op diet exactly to a t you will be glad you did in the long run. Good luck and you will love your sleeve I know I do already. I will hold you up in prayer on your big day let me know when that is.
  13. Alliecat1095 is spent lots of time in prayer asking God to take care of the scar tissue and he did I am so amazed..be sure to follow the pre-op diet to a T and you will do great. How long have you had your band? After surgery keep walking it helps the gas and makes you stronger everyday. you will do great what is the date of your surgery? I will hold you up in prayer for the same success.

  16. Hi everyone I did great with my surgery. It only took 1.5 hours for the whole procedure no problems with scar tissue after having my band 10 years to God be the glory.
  17. Gingersnap I don't have small children at home but I do have 3 grandchildren and 2 of them are small and when they come to visit love to have nanny hold them in my lap and of course at the same time jealous that nanny might give more lovin to 1 and not the other what a joy they all are. I am so glad to hear even with your hard time you would still do the surgery again. So glad to be getting back on the losers bench again.
  18. I will keep you all posted as soon as i Felipe to posting.
  19. I am having a revision tomorrow August 14th I have had my band since August 7th, 2002 exactly 10 years and one week. I did excellent myself and lost 100 lbs but within the last 2-3 years I have experienced so much heartburn that I had to have the fluid removed thus gaining back all but 35 lbs. I am excited and ready for my sleeve journey.. I will be revised in one procedure at least the doctor is 95% sure. I have been praying God will guide the doctors hand s and let it be in one step safely.
  20. I have been on my pre op diet and have lost 10.2 lbs so far and my surgery is on August 14th. It has gone pretty good I have not been hungry really but my doctor allows you to drink 2 protein drinks a day , and one meal can be a palm size piece of lean meat, and non starchy vegetable and 4 sugar free snacks a day like sugar free popsicles and or, sugar free jello for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Hope you are still doing good and having great success. I will let you know how it goes after my surgery. Peggy
  21. I have a date August 14th how long before your revision? I am ready excited and nervous at the same time. Happy, safe 4th Holiday
