  1. sorry you canceled..I was sleeved a year ago best thing I've ever done. realize millions of people have been sleeved it is a major surgery yes with risk, there are risk with anything you do .after a few months I can still enjoy many foods I like just not as much. lost 80 pounds..its still work but I'm so much better I can exercise now 351 now I'm 270 ..dont listen to people who have not been sleeved it's unfair they are making assumptions . Ask your doctor more people die from overweight than the sleeve. we all going to die from something least you can do is enjoy life ..the band has been proven not to work ..most doctors won't even do it anymore good luck to you. I can send before and after picks if you want.. and yes you will still have to work towards good health. Sorry people are judging your decision, they must really enjoy being over 300lbs


  2. I was banded in November of 2008. I went from a surgery day weight of 316 to my lowest of 236. About a year and a half ago I started having problems. I could not keep anything down, began experiencing right upper quadrant pain, constant reflux and had to have several unfills/refills. In October of 2015 I found out I had a ulcer, esophagus dilation, hiatal hernia and my band had slipped 3 cm. I have also regained back to almost 300 pounds even though my eating habits have not changed significantly. I found out this morning that my insurance has approved the revision from band to sleeve. I have several friends who have had the sleeve and are doing great but don't know anyone personally that has had a revision. I guess I am just nervous and looking for advice and support. My revision should be in early March.

    The sleeve is wonderful, you will do good
