Ok talked to the surgeons office and I'm all set it go on August 9th. I was told today that my there is no 2 week preop diet just clear liquids the day before.

I got it. Thanks

That is awesome !!! I hope I have results like that. That is what I lost total is 2 years with my Lapband plus I've gained that plus 10 back. Ugh. That is great for you though. Keep it up

Now I'm confused. I got my phone call on Monday 6/18 from my surgeons office sayings surgery was approved but in the mail today (6/21) I got a letter from my insurance company date 6/13 saying that they want more documentation and if they don't have it by 7/27 then they can't do anything?!? My surgery is scheduled for 8/9. I guess I will be calling my surgeons office on Monday to make sure everything is on track. I want this Lapband out :/

My sleeve surgery was just approved... August 16th is the big day. Lapband did not work for me and has been nothing but trouble. I am scared and excited to have this surgery. I can't explain why..... Just very scared, those " what ifs" have alway gotten me. :/

My sleeve surgery was just approved... August 16th is the big day. I actually have a Lapband, so I will be converting. Lapband did not work for me and has been nothing bit trouble. I am scared and excited to have this surgery. I can't explain why..... Just very scared, those " what ifs" have alway gotten me. :/

I have done a ton of research. I don't know what I a scared of. I think it's of failing since the band has been awful since I got it. I have 4 children and I think I'm scared of the what ifs. I reacted awful to anesthesia, I always have. Thanks everyone for your encouraging words

Hi everyone. I've been hanging around for awhile and I thought that I would finally join. I just saw my surgeon on Monday and I am starting the process to have my band removed and convert to a sleeve but I'm so scared. I have had my band since November 2011. I actually weigh almost 10 lbs more than the day of my surgery. We have never been able to get my band adjusted. I'm just really scared of the surgery. Thanks for listening
