Stop weighing yourself! let the sleeve work. Follow your food plan (find another I did) this is a process it will work if you follow the directions.

Best to you.

I got my band out at the same time. I was self pay so I wanted an MD who did alot of band to sleeves and I wanted it done in a hospital, not a "clinic" (I had my band done in MX in a clinic-no complaints but not the same as a sleeve)

Some surgeons just staple the sleeve other staple then sew over the staples I wanted the later. Good luck on your research. The bottom line is I love the sleeve hated the band.

Thank you all for the encouragement!!

Shontel,

Is the hole where they took out your port? I have my "large" incision by my port? I have realize band and the port is bigger, they attached it with clips vice sewing. What kind of band did you have. Hope you are still on the healing track. Do you remember what antibiotic they gave you? I am concerned with getting too much antibiotics with my revision. I have such paranoia about an infection! Glad to have the band removed? I get my unfill next Thursday, then one month till sleeve counting down!

Thanks for posting the picture...
