Good you got approve for the revision.

Sorry about that. I see why people do revisions, many slips.

Me too

Is the liquid diet a must or is it only recommend by the insurance?

Thanks, the nutrition part I totally would understand. Thanks again

Lol...yes, I can agree on that. I was planning on kids three yrs later anyway. After surgery I planned on having excess skin removed about a yr or so in. After that, kids are being planning....

Thanks

Ok....thanks

Thank you so much for the info. Silly questions, but had to ask. Thanks again.

Wow...sorry. I may do this myself. This is too much problem...smh sorry I hope it gets better for you.

Congrats!!!

I hope you and your family are doing well. My condolence again. I read your story over and over, so hurt by what has happened. I'm proud of you to have the courage and send your story. My heart goes out once again. May her soul rest in peace, and may your family get answers.

Ok thanks

In sorry that happened, my condolence. I'm scared now about doing this surgery. She seem fine, but passed away because of complications. I'm really considering getting a trainer and doing it differently. This is scary. Sorry again for your lost.

Thanks again. I am starting to just do this without any surgery, because the sleeve staples same to be the problem for real. Your sister situation I'm thinking is the staples doing that. That's the one thing I can't put my thoughts around. Having my inside staple. After a while its sure to give you problems. Now the band is what I want, however, the after maintenance is my problem. Being single with no help may not be good for me. The after care can become expensive. The insurance denied me 4 times, claiming I have no serious issues. My weight can be control with a good diet and exercise S.O.B. Been there done that. I need a darn tool. Back to the hypoglycemia with sleeves and bypass patients. Yes, I've read that and also been told that by doctors. I actually have those episodes sometimes now. If I wait to long to eat, I get shakey, weak, and lightheaded. I usually eat peanut butter then I'm back to normal. I went to the doctor and they said, "I'm not diabetic nor hypertension." However, its my stubbornness that cause this. I am not a Breakfast person. I get up at 7am off to work and eat like 3ish or 7ish at night. Its a bad habit I have. Then when I finally eat, its bad choices. And I eat lots of it. So, that's where I am guilty at. Anyhow, I'm rambling on. Thanks

I was thinking of the sleeve, but since its nor reverseable I got a bit scared. The sleeve is more cost effective then the band. However, with the sleeve doing my research I've read more complications. Such as leakage, dumping, and etc. I'm confused. Help? Anyone had problems?

Thank you!!

Thanks, I'm learning towards the sleeve. I have 3 months to decide, so this forum does help. Thanks!!

Yeah, I believe so too. Its less time.consuming for them, so they revert.to the other procedures. I can agree.

Ok thanks for the info.

Ok thanks for the info.

Thanks for your honesty. Yes, I have put all that into consideration. I was worried about the stapling inside, its not what I want. How did your sister do with it? Is she doing well? I like the sleeve because no long term aftercare as much. Being self paid I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford fills. Idk NaNa, I have to think of any WLS super hard. I'm scared and nervous, but I'm still doing research. Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. There are doctors here (South, Florida) not doing the lap band period anymore.

Thanks

Sorry about the knees, happy your doing well. I'm seriously considering it.
