Congrats!!! I had my 3 mo check up today, i was band to sleeve on 4/9 and my checkup 7/9 Im down 40 since sugery and I dont do my lab work till october at my 6 months!! GOODLUCK everyone???????????? on your success and health!

24 a month is good!! Im band to sleeve and I was told that we can still lose ALL the weight just slower than virgin sleevers!! Today was my 3 mo anniversary and im dwn 40 pounds, had my 3 mo check up today and my dr was sooo excited for me and Im excited for you!! Dont be Disappointed, stay focused and keep pushing,

I had to for 30 days once a day to prevent blood clots and I am not on blood thinners....i tried but i just couldnt do it, i did it 2 days, i just walked everyday 1 mile and 2 miles a day...they also sent me home with leg compressions so i put them on all day

Good luck I had No Pain from my surgery of band to sleeve, only abt 20 min of gas pain....once i took the gasx i was fine!! I wish the best for you and hope you be Pain-free as well!!

Banded in 2005, had my revision in 2014. My surgery lasted abt 45 min and she removed the band and sleeved me on the same day! No complications so far and i felt normal by day 3 of surgery...all my scars are gone except the one where they removed the port! i have lost close to 40 pounds since surgery 4/9/2014. So far Im loving my sleeve, no stuck food, no fills&unfills, no constipation, no acid reflux and no throwing up.....I pray to God I lose all the weight, stay healthy and no complications

I take a powdered vitamin at breakfast, later on I takechewable iron, magnesium and biotin together and then at night I take a calcium pill by it self. I was also told not to take the iron with the calcium. I also do a nasal b12 spray once a week on sunday.

Wow,,,everyone said what I was going to say Good luck on your next 6months....I pray that at my 6 months I am 60 pounds less!!

Good, great and excellent, you look amazing keep it up!!

Please make the choice that you feel is necessary for you....I had the lapband in 2005 and went from size 18 to 8...I was compliant, I started getting fills and unfills from being too tight or not tight enough and reflux kicked in....to prevent any internal damage I had to get totally unfilled and the weight came back on slowly. I did alot of throwing up, the reflux was choking me during the night and food would get stuck and I stayed hungryyyyyyyyy with the band. I say all this to say IT DOESNT MEAN IT WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU!! It didnt work for me and I am recently sleeved and have been loving my sleeve since day1....never hungry, no vomiting, no reflux, no painful needles for fills/unfills, no stuck foods! Good luck on your decision, its yours you maybe able to rock the band and love it!!

I had a band revision to sleeve....I had alot of scar tissue and they removed my band on the left side and my stomach on the right side...my biggest fear PAIN....while in the hospital one night i was only a lil sore with the exception of horrific gas pains in my back which subsided after abt 20min of me taking my own gasx....day 2 im home feeling fine just a lil tired and sore on my right side. I was able to walk a mile everyday and no pain and no pain meds! I did wake up every morning for abt 2 weeks a lil sore where they remived my stimach and i was tired the first week but I was doing all my normal stuff on day 3 except not picking up anything.

I eat a salad almost everyday....i measure it in a cup and i usually eat 1/2 cup or less so 4oz or less a day....i love it!!

@@LynnRinKYYou will not know what it is like till you have it! Try not to be scared....I had NO PAIN, i was a lil sore every morning when I woke up and I did not take any pain meds once I got home!! I was nervous and scared too because I did not know what to expect but it was a breeze for me!!

Hi when were you sleeved? I'm 9 weeks post op and had hair loss at the beginning and no more I've been on biotin months before my sleeve and I also put these drops on my scalp to prevent hair loss. @ajsI was revision band to sleeve 4/9/2014 and banded 9/2005

I had both leg cramps and headaches, i dont know why i had leg cramps but i figured low potassium and my headaches was from lack of food and drastic calorie reduction
