    Finally sleeved;)

    I had the lapband for two years and just had it removed and the sleeve done 6 days ago. The lapband worked for me for 7 months until I got acid reflux and it had to be emptied and we could never get it full without reflux again. Then a few months ago it slipped so I decided to revise to the sleeve. So far I have no pain and no hunger;) hoping for a great journey with the sleeve;)

    And it seems like I can drink more than 12 ounces. Isn't my stomach smaller than that???

    I was getting worried that it meant I wouldn't have much restriction;(

    Cost of fills...

  6. Just what Veronica said..... It is common for hair loss with surgery and weight loss. It lasts two to three months and then it is done and grows back;)
  7. Even though I am down 60 pounds in 6 months, I am posting pics of my 50 pound mark as that is half way! I went from a size 24 to 18 and I feel great! I love my band!

    New Here! Wondering If I Made A Mistake

    You will look back in a few months and love your decision and wish you'd have done it sooner;). It won't always be smooth sailing, but it will get better and be so worth it;)
  10. Very normal right after surgery. Give it some time and you will start to see te scale moving again;)

    Tight in the morning

    I am tight in the mornings so I stick to protein shakes or mushiness and get very full quickly. It is awesome and a great thing!

    IM so scared

    I started having some reflux and they took a little fluid out and it went away. My doc said the gallbladder can cause symptoms like this too.

    Cold feet

    Being scared is so normal. You will look back after the surgery and wonder why you were so scared. My only regret is I wish I would have had the surgery years ago!!!!
