Dr. Jason Balette he's in The Woodlands, Texas

I'm new here. I had lapband 4-19-2011 & had a lot of complications had it removed 6-3-2014. I am set to have revision surgery to sleeve 10-7-2015. I'm 5ft my starting weight was 199 I got down to 126lbs had band removed & now I am currently at 188lbs & back on blood pressure meds & cholesterol meds & I have fatty liver. I'm back to no energy & everything hurts, knees & back. I am scared about the sleeve because I'm afraid if I start losing too much weight I won't be able to control is. I only have 60lbs to lose. I was wondering if anyone had that problem, losing too much weight?? I hope I don't sound ridiculous ???? I just don't won't to look sick. I feel terrible & I want the weight off of me. My surgeon assured me I wouldn't be losing 100lbs, that the sleeve would just be taking the place of the lapband. We are paying cash & im also praying I have no complications, the last thing I won't is to be a burden to my family. My surgeon is Dr. Jason Balette in the woodlands, tx. He did tell me he would look around inside of me & if things don't look healthy he will not proceed with surgery because when he took my band out he told my family I was a mess inside, the worst he'd ever seen. He did not do my band a doctor by the name of dr. Richard Wilkenfeld did my lapband, & punctured my colon, had 4 days in the hospital & then 4 weeks later repeated lapband surgery (way too soon). Dr Richard Wilkenfeld was practicing around the Conroe, Tx & Houston area, he's no longer in practice because of law suites. So for such a long post again I'm new ????. I am scared????

I'm new here ???? I was banded 4-19-2011 my weight was 199lbs im 5ft was on meds for high blood pressure & cholesterol & had fatty liver. I had a lot of complications throwing up & spiting up my weight got down to 126 & then my band had to come out 6-3-2014. Now my weight has crept back up to 188lbs I have my revision surgery to sleeve on 10-7-2015. I am scared ???? I want this weight off of me because I feel terribly but I'm afraid of losing too much weight & not being able to control it. I hope I don't sound ridiculous ????

I'm new here I got banded in 2011 I'm 5ft & my weight was 199lbs. I had a lot of difficulties, throwing up, spitting up etc. my weight got down to 126lbs. I had band removed a year ago this June. My weight has came back to 188lbs. I have my revision surgery for sleeve 10-07-2015. I am scared we are paying cash, I'm worried about losing too much weight & im worried about leakage from the staples. I'm just scared. I'm back on blood pressure medicine & cholesterol medicine & I feel terrible, no energy. I want the weight off, but I don't want to look sick. My surgeon said he wouldn't do the kind of sleeve on me that would make me lose 100lbs. Is it stupid to ask has anyone lost to much weight? I want to lose 60lbs but I'm scared I will keep losing. My surgeon said since I had the band for 3 years the sleeve will just take the place of the band & I won't lose 100lbs. I guess I'm just worried I will not have any control if the weight starts falling off & I can't stop it. I hope I don't sound ridiculous ????
