need2bsleeved

Who else is going tomorrow? Yikes! Tomorrow!!!

I am also scheduled tomorrow - for a revision. Have had the band for a little over a year now and want it removed and sleeved. However, I'm really nervous because my surgeon said if there's too much scar tissue I will have to wait, possibly a year before being sleeved. The band would be removed, but I would have no restriction for a year! YIKES! Praying the scar tissue is minimal and the sleeve is possible.

Hi! I am also scheduled for Sept. 11. I just found out today and am still in shock. Hope everyone has a great surgery and lets keep each other posted on our progress. Good luck and best wishes!

Oh congratulations! Where are you having your surgery? Had pre-ops today and met with my doctor. I am a revision and he did say that if the scar tissue is really bad, he would remove the band, but I would have to wait a year to be sleeved. Hoping and praying everything is good and I will come out of surgery bandless, portless, and sleeved! Sunnymama10, are you on a pre-op diet? I was told to continue normal eating until 24 hours prior to surgery. Then it is full liquids and then nothing to eat or drink after midnight.

Hi need2bsleeved! I am also getting sleeved on the 11th. I'm going for pre-op tomorrow too! It's really starting to feel real and I'm a bit anxious too. I have two young daughters and I pray everything goes well. Good luck to you too! Feel free to vent to me.

ForMyGirls, have you Started the pre-op diet yet? I am checking with my doctor tomorrow just to be sure, but he did say it isn't necessary until the day before... I am excited but nervous. I have a low BMI and since unfilling my band I have gained 5 lbs, but definitely watching what I eat. Are you a revision, too? Trying to get everything ready for the days following surgery. I have been super tired lately. Probably from lack of sleep as I am pretty nervous... I'm excited that we will be sleeved on the same day!

Am a revision and have had the band since June 2011. It has slipped so I am having it removed and sleeved at the same time. New to this and quite nervous about surgery next week. I chose to tell only a few select people. My husband and daughters.... I am going for pre-op tomorrow.
