Hi All

I am new to this and actually a bit nervous writing on this forum as I have never done it before. I was hoping to hear from others that have had the lapband in the past and now have done the sleeve.

I am getting my band removed in couple of weeks and getting the sleeve done. When I went to the dr I was really nervous that he would tell me that I no longer qualify for any surgery anymore because my BMI is too low. Lucky for me (I guess) my BMI is 32- still can't shop in regular clothes stores where I live. :wink0:

To cut a long story short, I have other medical problems and with out hesitating he said that there is no way that he will let me go with out anything to protect me from becoming morbidly obese again.

Is there anyone out there that can tell me their experience. I really want to hear from you - especially those that started off with low BMI (even though it is still in the obese catagory)

I want to hear the good and the bad.

In the evenings, I want to snack. I don't usually have head hunger until the evenings and then I have a sf popsicle or fugdesicle, or sf pudding. I don't keep anything like chips or candy, other sweets, etc. in the house. There are some foods that the sleeve just won't let you overeat. Things like chips go down pretty easily, so

I just don't keep them around.
