cynthia I know how you feel i been on this site reading everone storie and cant wait to have storie of my own to tell and i hope it will be a successful story i do have a date march 19th It just seem so far away but i wish u the best on your journey

i have had fair success with my band but also alot of complications so i decided for health reason this was the next step

thank u and im going to take a couple days off and u look great

I to will say goodbye to my long friend the band and maybe the closer i get to the date I can say goodbye but for now me and the band has some more time together I got a date tho march 19th

I to am going from band to sleeve march 19th that date seem so far away im ready to b done and over with and i hope and pray that i may b one of the success stories i have been reading about

with my band it did grow back but i had to go on the biotin 10000mcg a day and i also use a nutribullet and blend my raw vegetable for more vitamins

congrads my date is march 19th

I have had my band 2.5 years now and I have lost a fair amount of weight but not without complication misery and much more now I embark on a new journey the sleeve I look forward but yet nervous scared and wonder where I will end up nowI have alot of support but all my support come from family that has been sleeved form the begining so I dont really know what to expect he tho my best friend does her best to comfort me and warn me about the difference but yet stress free from the complications I have had with my band My date is March 19 I hope nothing comes up and changes that date for me even tho today is feb 22nd i feel my day is far away and all say it will come fast i hope so i hope im not being unreasonable when i say the 19th is a tuesday and i plan to b back at work on monday

I currently have the lapband in place and also experience the same thing doing alot of research on the subject and talking with a rep from madam cj walker she told me to take BIOTIN but more research on my end discorver u need to at least take 10,000mcg a day anything less will not help fully. hope this helps u I am now awaiting to become a sleever and is now taking the full dose of the biotin knowing whats in store .

thank u all for comments I really appericate it now I know what to expect before the doctor was very rushed dont get the wrong idea he is a great doctor but i didnt have my thinking cap on and needed to know how this work and again thank u

I have had my band 2.5 years now and in my first year have taken off a nice amount of weight but I have never been stress free from the side effects of the band. I have had numerous pouches and had to be deflated hospitalize once and now instrested in is the sleeve .What I would like to know has anybody went from band to sleeve? what was the process? Did your band have to come out a while before being sleeved? Has anyone just had the band removed and the same day sleeved?
