Am a revision and have had the band since June 2011. It has slipped so I am having it removed and sleeved at the same time. New to this and quite nervous about surgery next week. I chose to tell only a few select people. My husband and daughters.... I am going for pre-op tomorrow.

Hi need2bsleeved! I am also getting sleeved on the 11th. I'm going for pre-op tomorrow too! It's really starting to feel real and I'm a bit anxious too. I have two young daughters and I pray everything goes well. Good luck to you too! Feel free to vent to me.

ForMyGirls, have you Started the pre-op diet yet? I am checking with my doctor tomorrow just to be sure, but he did say it isn't necessary until the day before... I am excited but nervous. I have a low BMI and since unfilling my band I have gained 5 lbs, but definitely watching what I eat. Are you a revision, too? Trying to get everything ready for the days following surgery. I have been super tired lately. Probably from lack of sleep as I am pretty nervous... ;) I'm excited that we will be sleeved on the same day!

Hi need2bsleeved! I started my full liquid (2 Protein shakes, 3 servings of dairy, 2 servings of juice) on August 14th. It seems way longer than most (28 days) and very restrictive. I'm used to it now but it sucked at first. You are lucky!

No, this is my 1st wls. I'm 258 pounds and 5'10''. I have a lot to lose but I know I can do it!

Where are you located?

Keep in touch sleeve buddy! I could really use someone to chat with that understands!

Oh congratulations! Where are you having your surgery? Had pre-ops today and met with my doctor. I am a revision and he did say that if the scar tissue is really bad, he would remove the band, but I would have to wait a year to be sleeved. Hoping and praying everything is good and I will come out of surgery bandless, portless, and sleeved! Sunnymama10, are you on a pre-op diet? I was told to continue normal eating until 24 hours prior to surgery. Then it is full liquids and then nothing to eat or drink after midnight.

Thanks! I am having my surgery at the McAllen Heart Hospital (TX). I wasn't put on a pre-op diet, rather they gave me some guidelines to try to follow until i was approved. I am going tomorrow to pick up my pre-registration papers and i will find out if about the fasting time before surgery. I think it will be the same...normal eating and 24 hours. So we will see how it goes!

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
