Hello I was sleeved on 11/11/15 Like most everyone else I am learning what my sleeve likes and dislikes. I have fallen into eating the same foods over and over because I know they don't make me sick. Sugar is my worst enemy now, which is a good thing. I get very ill after eating anything with over 2 grams of sugar in it. I have not vomited with my sleeve thankfully. I feel I have been doing pretty good. I have had several stalls but luckily I started losing again. I am 45 lbs down as of today!

My Sleeve Surgery date is November 11th and my Liquid diet starts Oct 28th. I need a buddy to go through this process with, text, and email or even talk on the phone about issues, and support one another. Anyone looking for a sleeve buddy?

I got my surgery Date...Nov 11th. I want to find out what are some of the best Bariatric vitamins to take after the sleeve?

I just got my Date of Nov 11th I am having a revision. I am removing the lap band and getting the sleeve!!! Anyone else having surgery on the 11th

I have had so may complications with my lap band over the past 2 years Its come to the time where I have to have it replaced. It started out by me getting a hernia from the orginal surgery in 2010. The doctor was trying to give me a fill and the hernia was sitting on top of my port so when he thought he was "drainging" my hernia he was actully drainging my band this was in 2012. So I had to start all over again with fills. My doctor didn't think at that time he was draing my band. well I didnt have any restriction for almost 6 months so I was questioning him every visit with whats going on why am i gaining and having no restrictin? So next visit he got into the port and pulled eveything out and seen I didnt have much Fluid in my band, So then he thought ok come in weekly for fills so I did and as long as I came in weekly I had restriction. I maintained my weight but wasent losing. After awhile my port became hard to find unknown at that time why. I was having fills under fluro with no problems but it cost so much to have a fill under fluro with my doctor. So after 4 fills under fluro I stopped going to the doctor for about 2 months I lost my dad so I became depressed and decided not to go. Once I snapped out of the depression I had gained 20 lbs and need to get back on track now it 2014 and I go in for a fill and the dr can not access my port once again. So we go to the fluro and come to find out my port has flipped and my band has a leak in it and has detatched from my muscle and is litterly floating around so everytime my Dr tried to flip the port it would just move away. So frustrating. So after a call into my insurance and a month of waiting later they have approved me for a band replacement. Im just nervous this could all happen again. My first year with the band was the best I lost 100 lbs and everything was great. Now i'm fighting to get that back. in total I lost 124 lbs and have gained 30lbs back with all these complication over the past 2 years. I am wondering of anyone else has had any of these issues and if there outcome was better after the 2nd time around?

Got my Surgery day!! Feb 28th...Super excited to lose this weight. Now about this liquid diet it's so hard being a mom and cooking for the kids then me having to drink a shake...I can do this. I can't wait till Friday!!
