Well I joined this board awhile back thinking I would get banded. Turns out I'm not a good candidate for banding because of an underlying liver condition, so I am having a sleeve gastrectomy in 5 days time. Anyone else here set out to have a band but ended up with other kind of WLS?

Hello everyone. My name is Etty and I live in London, England. I've been going to the obestity clinic at the hospital since June, hoping to get WLS. I've lost a bunch of weight in order to qualify, and I have my first appointment with the surgeon on November 15. Because I have liver disease I may not be eligable, but the liver docs say there's no reason not to go ahead (unless the surgeon sees a major problem dring the op). So, we'll see, but I am praying like crazy that I get this. I have over 100lbs to lose, and I will never be able to do it on my own, and keep it off. It's helpful to read about everybody's experiences here. I'm a bit nervous about the whole thing, but it's great to know there's a forum like this.
