Thank you! The last pounds have been hard to loose. Trying to figure how to maintain.

I had my band done in 2009. I had it removed in January of last year. It had slipped a little and I had esophageal issues. I dealt with pain and reflux for about a year before I did something about it. When my band was removed, there was quite a bit of scarring around the band. It took a little longer to remove it. My port site was sore for a little while. My doctor had me wait three months to have the sleeve done. He wanted to make sure everything had healed properly. My revision to sleeve was done on 5/29 with no issues. I am a whimp, so it took a little longer for me to recover. I’ve had some emotional ups and downs. I weigh 133. Three pounds from my goal weight. I’m very happy with my sleeve!

My surgery was on 5/22. I had a band to sleeve revision. I have lost 52lbs. 14lbs to go. I feel much better. I haven’t been this weight in 27 years! I need to work on my water and exercise.

My revision surgery was on May 24th. I have lost 52lbs. I’m 19lbs from my goal. Still learning about and adjusting to my new life!

I was sleeved on May 23. It was super painful for the first four days. I start puréed food tomorrow. Looking forward to that. My emotions have been all over the place. Something I wasn’t expecting. I have been on Zoloft and it is now causing extreme diarrhea (TMI). I think just having liquids has not helped! Just trying to get myself straightened out. Thanks for reading!

I had my band removed in January after

I’m in the Dallas area. I had my Lap Band removed in January. Having the sleeve done on the 22nd. Self pay because I haven’t gained all the weight back.

I would like a thread like that, too.

I have both. I will try it. Thanks!

Thanks for the article! It explains a lot. I will try to manage my stress and take my vitamins. Hopefully, it will grow back.

I had my Lap Band removed in January. I am having VGS surgery in May. I had beautiful hair before I had three children. Add the Lap Band and it is thinner. If I lose even more with the sleeve, things could get scary for me. How much hair loss have you had going from a Lap Band to Sleeve?? Thank you!!
