Since another surgery is inevitable, and your family is on board with the removal, just try to get the removal and revision at the same time without telling them about the sleeve. They're happy, you are happy.. and when you drop weight, just say you are, indead pushing yourself away from the table [emoji6]

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

So sorry to hear your family didn't support the band to sleeve revision. Maybe with some time and education about it all, they will support it. I would ask my parents and spouse to go talk to your surgeon. With all of the issues you are having with the band, you really should get it taken out. My surgeon told me I needed to take my band out or I would eventually end up in the ER having serious complications. Had my band removed 08/2015 and the sleeve done 01/2016. I've lost 42 pounds so far and I feel so much better since I had the band removed. Good luck!

Anetna was good with my approval but at the end of everything I owe 12000 dollars for the surgery, while all my medicaid buddies 0.
