Bad news for me. My band had eroded into my stomach. Dr said he saved my life. Thank you God! He also said no sleeve or even bypass EVER! I'm very upset right now. Been crying a lot but I would rather have my life. Thanks for all your prayers and support. May God send you all wonderful success!

Well bad news, no sleeve for me now or ever! No bypass either. My band had eroded into my stomach. Took 2 hours to get out. Dr had to call in a gastro specialist to help. I'm very upset right now. But the doctor said he saved my life. I know all things work together for those who love The Lord. I hate I will never be part of the losers bench. Much success to all you guys. I have enjoyed getting to know you all.

I'm in hospital with IV waiting my turn. Nervous but ready to go. God speed to all sleevers today!

I want to send prayers and a speedy recovery to all my 10/11/12 sleeve buddies! Choc_thicktothin, Holly5.3, gottaloozit, charchar, SCS, MNSleeveGirl, CaliAmber, VNaNa, Gig, suejersey, Neta912 and wanna. We have a rocking date and we are going to ROCK this! Please keep me posted on your recovery. See you guys on the losers bench! My verse for each of you. Isaiah 41:10

Best of luck to all the sleevers coming up this week. Mine is Thursday! May you all have a speedy and easy recovery. God bless and my prayers are with you all!

I am scheduled with Dr. A on Oct 11th. I am very excited. On my 4th day of 10 pre-op diet. I have heard so many great things about people's experience there I am looking forward to it. I am from Alex City not far from Auburn.

Day 3 of 10 day pre-op liquid diet. Hard day yesterday at work. Was very tired. I have woke up Monday and last night at 3am STARVING ! Anyone else felt like that ? Getting excited. Fly to San Antonio next Wed for surgery in Mexico Thursday. Good luck and prayers to all Octosleevers!

To all October Sleevers, best of luck, have a speedy recovery and get to loosing!

I,m also 10/11/12 but Dr. Alvarez in Mexico, best of luck to you!

Starting my pre-op on Monday. Must do liquid diet for 10 days. I can't believe it is almost here. I am a band to sleeve revision and nervous my sleeve won't be done due to scar tissue. My Doc (Alvarez) won't do the revision if too much scar tissue in one surgery, will have to wait 5 months but I want what is best for me . We are going to the Melting Pot tonight for my last meal . Best of luck to all my 10/11/12 sleeve sisters! WE ROCK!

We are sleeve sisters! I am getting excited and nervous. My surgery is by Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. Best of luck to you and God bless!

Sorry, Mexico.

October 11th with Dr. Alvarez in Mexio. Getting nervous and excited!

I am scheduled for a revision with Dr. Alvarez Oct. 11th. Best of luck to you!

Mine is also October 11th in Mexico with Dr. Alvarez. Good luck to you!

Good luck to you too! Let me know how your surgery goes. Let's stay in touch on our journeys.

Dr. Les Miles in Birmingham, AL did my band. Insurance won't pay and I can't afford it. He has not done many revisions so I was looking for someone with more revision experience. I really like Dr. Alvarez and I am very excited. I will understand if he can't do it in one surgery but will be very disappointed. I want what is best for me physically. Thanks for your prayers and support!

I am having my revision October 11th. Have had band for 7 years. Not bad weight loss at first, but regained most of it back. I am having trouble with heartburn and some nausea. Ready to get it out! It has never been comfortable. I had my gallbladder out last year and my port tube was adhered to my gallbladder! My Doctor ( Dr. Alvarez) said there is a 50/50 chance of a complete revision in one surgery. Please be in prayer for me that I can get it done in one surgery. Thanks for all your support!

Good luck to you also!
