I hope all goes well for us all ! I had a dream that I had the sleeve and the next week they found a miraculous cure for obesity ! One injection of the skinny gene haha would be just my luck !

johnsydney got a reaction from ivyh in How can you tell in the Dr Office if you are filled enough?
I've had the band for 10 years, my best weight loss was 46kg which was pretty close to my goal, I had to travel a long way for my fills and unfills and got quite frustrated with the whole thing. I'm not sure how you guys have your fills, but I told my fill provider that I wanted her do access my port whilst I was stood up. Once she was in I glugged a bottle of Water whilst she filled. Once I felt the water stop and start to back up I told her to stop and withdraw the Fluid bit by bit, once I felt the water trickle through I told her to stop. That's how I found my sweet spot :-)

johnsydney got a reaction from unbroken40 in altitude with band?
I have heard people say that flying can temporarily tighten the band, however, I fly all the time due to my job and I've never noticed any difference.

johnsydney got a reaction from stacielynntate in Lap band or sleeve? Why did you get revision to sleeve?
I was banded in 2004 at 136kg, got down to 90kg over about 4 years, now back up to 110kg. The only was I lose weight is with super tight restriction then I get the reflux and get miserable. I've decided to have it out and have a sleeve on the 12th of August. Can't wait to have the band removed and am looking forward to getting back on the losing side. I've also been doing my own fills / unfills for the last couple of years too. Over it now.

Hi all, this is my first post on here. I'm having the sleeve on the 12th of August. I'm (hopefully) going from band to sleeve (same op) had the band 10 years ago was 136kg, got down to 90kg, now back up to 110kg. Bands not working for me anymore. I'm 37 and 182cm. Anybody else gone band to sleeve in the same op ?
