It was hard at first especially once all my co-morbids I had stared coming back and one by one I was started back on medication, diabetes ,high blood pressure, and my cholesterol all came back and im back on meds and now insulin. I will be glad when I get my sleeve July 13. Although im not at the 298 I started out with when I got my first band and lost 115lbs. I'm at 260 and my second band was removed 2012 when I was at 230.
Hi im Kiki I had 2 lap bands both slipped now im getting sleeved July 13. with the first band I lost 115 before it slipped with the 2nd one I did not loose anything it slipped and when it was removed the weight came back really fast.
I'm so sorry mine was not covered through my job BCBC of Tennessee so the Bariatric Dr I saw told me about Mexico because I was crushed my PCP agreed with him co im having mine July13. Good luck to you:)
