I to had this problem and had the lap band done and please everone dont blast my decision but I had so many problems with the band even been hospitalize having my band totally empited and starting over I just got tired and then I kept getting pouches at first my doctor thought I was over eating I assured him I was not my body just rejected the band and to time consume always running back and forth for fills unfills then people do say there is not alot of research on the sleeve but thats not true the sleeve use to be part of the gastric bypass it was call the duedo switch please forgive my spelling and what happen was they did this to get the morbid obese patients down so they could have the bi bypass but what they found out was alot of patients did good with it and didnt need gastri so they allowed the sleeve to stand on its on now on to malabsorpion that is not totally true either r stomach is still intack so we absorb are food and Vitamins I was sleeve 3/19/13 and I am enjoying ever minute of it and hate I wasted so much time and money on the band

me to mine has been slow but people keep giving me a reality check pre pre op diet i was 217 day of surg 211 and today 195 and i was sleeved on 3/19/13 so i dont know well as they say rome was not built in a day but this time i am determine to enjoy the weight loss as i go and enjoy cleaning out my closet and saying goodbye to clothes i never did even with the band even when they were to big i feel like this is the real things this time so just enjoy the ride and embraced each lb each ounce lost and when the scale stop enjoy inches gone forever

Yes I would gladly b a buddy it's hard for me I work n a doctor office and the drug reps brings all sorts of things and if its not them it's my coworker feeding me I am afraid I was just sleeved on the 19th n a husband who says I am forcing him to gain weight cause I'm not eating imagine that

I also went from band to sleeve on march 19th and u will be fine the first day and a half was hard I will not lie to u but it is true each day u will start to feel better I have not been cleared to excerise yet but I keep feeling im ready. Best wishes and see you on the otherside soon on the loser bench

I think a better question is, ARE you excited? Nervous? Calm?
All of these things are ok!
If you are nervous, this is a big thing. Nerves are good. Surround yourself with good friends and talk it out...
If you are excited, AWESOME!!
I'm thrilled for you! Find new ways to Celebrate that don't involve food (something I'm working on as well)
If you are calm - Wonderful! This means you have accepted where you are and the decision you have made.
Emotions are there to give us a head's up to where we are. They are indicators. They are what they are... they may be flagging you to things from the past that have no place here and now. Remember that you made this decision and have done a lot of work and effort to get yourself to this place. You are going to be a better you. I heard someone say that if an obsticle gets in the way of your dream, then your dream isn't big enough - use that as encouragement to envision your future life -
what will you do?
where will you go?
what is your clothing style?
how will this change your life with your loved ones?
This is how I'm getting through mine. I don't regret my decision, and yes, I'm a little nervous. But, I know with everything I have that this is the right thing.
Best of luck to you, I will be praying for you!
