I'm happy and nervous all at the same time. I'm finally getting rid of this band and I have been approved for sleeve I'm scheduled for surgery 4/4/13. Started my liquid diet today and I'm just trying to absorb and read as much as I can. I can't fail at this and be obese and unhappy. I'm setting my game plan and preparing myself. Any suggestions for me?
So happy received a call from my surgeons office today and I'm approved. My revision surgery was denied at first then it went for peer to peer review and they approved it! So 4/4 is the day I will get this demon band out and be sleeved!
Hello all I'm a newbie here and I wanted to introduce myself. I was banded in 4/10 and did well for a while lost 68 pounds. My highest recorded weight was 286 and my lowest recorded weight it 209. Trouble started with my band and I was either to full and vomiting on a daily basis and terrified to eat or I wasn't full enough and had larger portions. That brings is to 2013 I decided to see if revision was and option and found out it was so I'm currently on my 5th visit of the 6 month supervised diet and due to have my psychiatric eval 2/8. Looking to be sleeved 4/13 so keep me in your thoughts!
Hey everyone. I'm soon to be revised from lapband to sleeve and I'm in PG county. Surgery being done by Dr. Salameh at Virginia Hospital Center. Would love to interact with some other weight loss surgery peeps for support in the DMV area. You can contact me here or directly poohressa@gmail.com
I'm an April sleever also!!!!! Hopefully 4/22/13 I'm actually a revision from lapband to sleeve so good luck and I'm sure all will go well. Wishing you much success!
