Hi all,

Well the new Dr office called and they are submitting my paperwork for the band to sleeve revision for June 28th. I am a total basket case now. I don't know why, I loved my band when it was working. My major problem is that I can eat everything now, and I do, and I LOVE it. I love having bagels for Breakfast again, and bread with my Pasta, and my hot dogs on buns! Oh and that nice COLD beer when it was 95 degrees out on Saturday!

What is wrong with me? I feel like a kid in a candy store, going crazy because I think that when the sleeve is done, it will be like the band again. Please tell me I am CRAZY!!! I know i have to watch my carbs and follow the rules, but for real, why am I thinking this is the end of the world.

I do have one major concern, since my band is totally empty, and I have a huge appetite, what is the pre-op diet like, if there is one for band to sleeve revisions? I know when I have to I can do this, but I just want to get a jump start on the Protein, and no carbs, any advice?

Thanks,

Patti

I can only imagine what you are going through. I myself went through a stage of wanting to eat anything and everything I could pre op. I think it is a mental thing like seperation anxiety or something. I think it is completely normal.

I didn't have the band, but I can say that food wise after the sleeve was done.... I still don't really have an appetite. I eat but really a tiny amount of food resolves my cravings.

I hope this helps.
