Welcome and congrats on ur approval. I hope to hear more from you and ur WLS journey. Wishin u the best and when the time comes a speedy recovery.

I had a lapband put in back in 2007 and I just had it removed and revised to a sleeve on 11/1/12 due to losing the ablity to swallow. I did well with my weight lose (110 lbs) and was able to kept if off. But there are a lot of issues with the band, I throw up alot and there's alot of different foods you cant eat and alot of other medical band issues that can come up. Please do your research, doctors dont alway tell you everything. If the sleeve was available thru my insurance back in 07, I would have had that done instead. But Im thankful that I had it done, because it taught me how eat and I still use those tools with the sleeve.

Sounds like that dumping thing I had heard about. :-(

Well I passed my stress test "yes"!!!!!! It looks like Nov 1st will be my day.
