  1. I had the band in July 2013 and like you've said, I did not have much success. The reason was they could never get me in what they call the Green Zone. I was always in the Yellow with little to no restrictions. And I hit the Red one time, that was horrible. I could not swallow my own saliva. Moving forward, earlier this year I decided to go from the band to the sleeve, ESP since my insurance BCBS said they would pay for up to 2 Bariatric Surgeries. I had the revision done on Nov 14th and even though I almost backed out at the hospital, I am so glad that I didn't. I feel the restrictions when I eat and when I'm satisfied and not full, and I've been losing little at a time since I started my Pre-Op. Also, it's said they those who have the sleeve this way tend to list slower than those who did the sleeve without a revision, but I Strongly Believe, if your insurance cover and/or you can afford you won't regret doing the revision. Last, and BEST ADVICE, PRAY AND SEE WHAT GOD TELLS YOU TO DO. I DID THAT AND I BELIEVE GOD APPROVED ME TO DO IT. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

  5. My doctor prescribed some nasal b12 which you do once a week and that may help you. It's called Nascobal 500mcg/spray. My insurance didn't cover it. And my doctor's office gave me a $25 off coupon for it and I paid $25 for a 4 week supply. 1 each week. So ask your doctor about it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

  14. I did not have that experience and I'm glad to hear that you haven't had it in the last few days. And I wanted to say hi and tell you that I had my surgery on the same day as you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App
  15. I had surgery on 11/14 and yes it was hard and painful to move, but 12 days post-op that has improved a lot and I believe it's because I walked and moved often. So try to walk as often as you can even if it's just a little at a time. Plus it's too keep your blood from clotting. YOU CAN DO IT AND PRAY FOR STRENGTH TO HELP YOU Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App
  16. I'm 12 days Post-Op from Band to Sleeve and I'm a lil hungry. Is anyone else experiencing or have experienced this? And is this normal? It's not major, it's just the fact that I'm hungry this early after surgery. I'm due to start puree foods on Monday. Any suggestions for good healthy high Protein food items for this stage. If so, please list them. Thank-You Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App
  17. Since You Say You're Sure Your Ready This Time. Then PRAY AND TAKE THE STEP to go talk with your surgeon. If he's meant to be the one to perform your surgery and he's been doing this for a while, he'll understand. You weren't the first to change their mind and won't be the last. I had my revision on Nov 14, 2016 & I was actually having second thoughts on that day, and they told me that it happens often that people get that far and change their minds for varies reasons. Step Out and do what I believe will be one of the Best things for You and Your Health. And PRAY PRAY PRAY WITHOUT END For With GOD YOU CAN & WILL DO IT Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App
