Hi everyone I did great with my surgery. It only took 1.5 hours for the whole procedure no problems with scar tissue after having my band 10 years to God be the glory.

That is so awesome for you... I had the band for 2.5 years and had a lot of scar tissue along with a kink... in the esophagus... ugh!!! But, I am sleeved now and doing wonderful as well......

Ok so the other day I weighed myself at Walmart. I weighed 238.....22 lbs down from August 17th. Well I decided to buy a scale today. Got home and weighed 230!! That's 30lbs down in 10 days!!! Geez!!! My hubby says its from my stomach being removed! Lol!

But I've been throwing up a lot lately. I just can't tell when I've eaten too much. And the acid reflux is killing me!!! So I'm gonna stick back to liquids for a couple of days, that stays down.

That's incredible. Hope the vomiting gets better though. That's not fun. Don't push too fast. You've got your entire life to get back to solids. ;)

I am having my band removed on 9/5 I have had it for two years now, and have had nothing but bad luck. I am patiently waiting for my insurance to approve the sleeve!! Since my band removal was approved in one week, I am in high hopes that it will be approved!!!! :) Good luck to everyone on your journey!

I finally was cleared to continue to have surgery on Wed. I am a little scared of the unknown the pain, nausea, vomiting... Buyers remorse....All I can do is pray and Leave it in Gods hands. Tomorrow I go for my pre-op appts. I start at 8:30 and my last appt is at 2:00.... Keep me posted when you can.. I will try and do the same..

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
