The OCC in Mexico is about 4 k ...great reviews , center of expelled and international acclaim. If my insurance denies me I am headed there

I get the lap band for years ago, I did not get restriction from it however I had allergic reaction to it. I threw up pretty much every day, and all-around miserable. I had it removed December 3 and I'm going to get sleeved in March.from personal experience I would say go ahead and get the sleeve. I regret not having it done for years ago. It is four years wasted, no weight lost, and just massive amount of aggravation.

March if all goes well, last diet appointment is in 2 weeks, already did my approval from primary, psyc eval done, ekg done. All that is left is intake.

I heard several of the people actually put half pound weights in a couple of the pockets to give them additional weight
I had my lap band removed December 3, lived with it for four years because I lost my insurance . I was allergic to the band I spend a lot of time throwing up, my surgery date should be in March for the sleeve. I am at month five for my six-month diet I've lost 26 pounds....

I had my band removed December the third. I'm sure that some people think that not having the band in is a carte blanche, eat whatever you want as much as you want since you now have the capability of eating more again and not throwing up, food not getting stuck, I have decided to stay with trying to eat healthier and have continued to maintain weight actually lost 24 pounds pre surgery. I have about month and a half to my sleeve....hope to loose a total of 30 lbs by then
-
My insurance made me get the sleeve out and I have to wait for 3 month for the sleeve. My surgeon stated that he would have backed out due to the scar tissue I had from the band. It was a concern for me to do 2 surgeries but now I am glad. Had mine removed in December, sleeve coming in March ...whoohoo
-
I had my band out in December, I had no pain whatsoever.....jumped off the bed, put on my boots and went home ...I hope it is the same for you. Estimated date for my sleeve is early March... I cannot wait. I wish I had done this 4 years ago instead of the band. This is exciting for sure. I know all about about the head hunger . For me it is mostly consistency of a certain food, like icing.

How wonderful congratulations, I'm about a month and a half out so I am on pins and needles hoping that my approval comes pretty quickly I do believe he starting the process next month
-
you know I was pretty much on the same as you... WHY WHY WHY do I have to wait... .do 2 surgeries... but after talking with him I sure want the best outcome for myself so .... I will quit whining lol. I must say since they took my band out last week i cannot eat any large amount ( when I was banded I could eat a whole pizza ). so I am actually losing ... I can make it though the end of February. I have no choice cause if I gain any weight I have to start the 6 month diet all over.......that is not going to happen..
-
My doctor told me that it was safer to prevent leaking. Also he told me that the outcome is better because my stomach has time to revert back its normal shape. Hope this helps
