I had the band and lost 55 pounds (210 to 155) , it slipped and had to be removed. I have gained 20 pounds back. My weight now is 177 and I am 5'4, I have been approved for the sleeve because the band failed.... I am so worried that I am going to lose to much weight with the sleeve. Say I lose just 50 pounds with the sleeve I'll be 127, that's to skinny for me.... But if I don't get it I will continue to gain.... I dont know what to do .......

Hello, Your question is one thats been on my mind.. i had the band and lost 55 pounds, it slipped and had to be removed. I have gained 20 pounds back. My weight is 177 and I am 5'4, I have been approved for the sleeve.... I am so worried that I am going to lose to much weight.. Say I lose just 40 pounds I'll be 137, that's to skinny for me....

Why did are we seeing more GS ?

How long have they be tracking the results of the sleeve.

Point well taken

Looking to hear if anyone feels like they have lost to much weight? I have been to a few support groups and some people look VERY skinny

It was only approved because the band had failed.....

I had the lapband and lost 50 pounds, the band slipped and had to be removed. Now I have been approved for the sleeve be band failed. My BMI is LOW 27, my weight is 177... How much weight can I except to lose? If I lose 50 pouth the sleeve, I'll be to skinny....

Insurancnce approved it because the Band failed

They say if a band has slipped for some reason the new band will slip also. I very happy to hear that you don’t think I’ll lose 50 pounds… that is my concern

The PCP gave me clearence.
