  13. You look amazing !!!!! I think at some point we all go through this fear I know I did when I had lap band 10 years ago! i just had to have the band removed last month and I wake up in the middle of the night in tears that I will gain my weight back . you have a lot of support on her with people going through the same feelings as you are
  14. I know exactly how you feel we have come to far to go backwards
  15. I was banded in 2006 had my band removed last month due to the last year having horrible acid reflux that caused ulcers in my throat and stomach i went for my check up and have gained 2 pounds which isn't to bad so I'm looking into weight watchers to see how I do as I know I need a tool so if I can't keep weight off ill look at getting sleeved . I was devastated losing my band. I also have a few friends who have had their bands slip its not uncommon
  16. I had my band removed last month having been banded 10 years losing 120 lbs and I feel the same as you I research the sleeve then think I can do this then I'm back to sleeve right now I'm looking at weight watchers as i need to wait 3 months after band removal before sleeve and ill see how i do if i need a tool i will get the sleeve:) but i am scared to death
  17. I had my lap band removed last month exploring doctors to do possible sleeve . A nurse @ my doctors office today for my band removal check up had told me you should have your gallbladder removed during your sleeve or you will end up with problems so I'm curious as this is the first I've ever heard of it
  18. Has any body used Dr Francisco Zavlza with Go Light bariatrics? also has anyone with the sleeve had to have their gallbladder removed?
  19. How much does he charge for a arm lift? I have a lot of work that needs to be done Im curious what i need to put away to have it done
  20. I didn't see any packages on her on her web page . Does she discuss them when you discuss what you want
  21. How much does something like this cost ? It sounds like everything I need
  22. How are you doing with your surgery?
  23. Do you Have the contact info or web page I can look at. Still trying to figure out what I'm Going to do I just had my band removed 5 days ago
