How do you know if you have a leak?

Don't give up home. I have read and read everything I can on this and the sleeve seems to be very successful without the stuff we had to go through with the band so i am ready...I just want the time to go by and to be on the other side of this. Gaining again sucks majorly but we will lose it all again too

My removal is on may 11 th. Don't get sleeve till August. You guys are making me feel excited for the change. Sine days I can't keep anything down. ..others everything stays down. ..I can't wait to get through the 3 months and get my sleeve.

I assume the staples stay in forever, does the cut actually heal causing the possibility of a leak to end?

Well this does make me even more worried about the weight gain during those three waiting months till I get the sleeve. Removal May 11 and Sleeve August 3rd. I already feel like a house since I gained 30 lbs after removing Fluid from the band in hopes of not throwing up...alas I still vomit multiple times a day. I just want august to be here already.

Finally getting my band removed on May 11th after a couple of years throwing up every day several times a day. I have to wait till August 3rd for the sleeve and I am very stressed about those 3 months in between. I know I will gain alot and eat alot, but I simply can't go on throwing up and I can't go with nothing because I wouldn't be getting surgical help if I was able to do this without surgery, right?. Anyway I would love to have some pen pals on here to help me through this. I am worried about the gain in between and comorbities coming back. Everything I read on here seems to be pretty positive with the band to sleeve situation. My doctor will not do in one surgery to improve the risk factors. He has a great record and doesn't lose patients so I have to take his advice there.

Did you have two wait the 3 months before the sleeve after lap band removed? I get my band out in two weeks but no sleeve till August. Very worried about eating in those three months. I know me and I will eat like its the last time I ever get to. If I could do it on my own I wouldn't need the surgery. How did you deal with the 3 months?
