hello i am also having surgery done in Dec i will be having my Lap Band taken out and getting the VSG ......super nervous

well spoke with my surgeon on Thursday and we had a long talk about this apparently i hit a plateau and we have agreed on proceeding to the sleeve paperwork will begin now we have to find out if i can do the surgery all in one time or two separate times

I was banded Aug 17 2011 since being banded I had great results a couple of months ago i had gotten a fill and the next thing i knew i couldn't even keep water down everything was coming up went to the dr and to my surprise a slipped band i have a 10cc band and currently have 7cc's and i have lost so far 97lbs in all but in two months i have gained 40lbs i a beyond stressed with this whole situation i feel like i'm starting all over i cry everyday trying to figure this out i am really thinking this band is not for me maybe VS will be better ??? so confused

I am in the same position i have been banded for 2 years and a couple of months ago my band slipped they removed all saline and then a month later they said it was back in place but now what the problem is that i am at 6cc's and feel no restriction at all which has me very upset and sad because i loved my band i have lost 97lbs but i have gained back 35lbs i want to turn to the sleeve and my nurse's practitioner agrees fingers crossed that i can have it done my ins will cover it so lets see what my surgeon says on thursday I am glad to hear such great results about the sleeve
