I was exactly like you, posting on lapbandtalk, ventured to this site and the rest is history. Had my revision about 5 weeks after initially finding this site. I can tell you it is the best thing that I could have done. Well wishes to you and your surgery

Congrats on your date!! Mine is also nov 5th, converting from band to sleeve. I had the lapband for 4yrs now, lost about 65lbs with it, but i just stalled and couldnt keep any solid food down, sometimes even liquids. Just couldnt take it anymore with the vomiting and one day something was fine to eat and the next day the same thing wasnt. So yea, im converting. Just doing all my final clearances now and im good to go on the 5th. Im very nervous tho. My fear is that my doc is going to go in remove the band and then find some reason why he wasnt able to do the sleeve. He says all is great, but im just so nervous about it still. Whats ur pre-op diet like? I start a 2 week liquid diet on the 22nd. Looking forward to that bc i'll get a jump start on some weight loss with that well congrats to us for nov 5th lol

I remember you from LB talk. You were one of my thinspirations. Yeah, the band didn't work for me and I revised in April 2012 after having the LB for 2 years. VSG is the BEST thing I could have ever did for myself. Good Luck Girl and I look forward to seeing your posts...Much success!!!!

I'm almost 2 weeks out and I'm feeling a lot better I'm loosing weight and I will get back into a size 11 soon.. How has VSG worked for you how much are you down? Not being hungry all the time is such a big difference for me.. I'm stoked..

I'm down 70 lbs yesterday. OMG...I feel and look amazing lol. My highest weight was 240 I'm 169 today. Size 11 from a 22. I'm SO happy with it. I haven't had any problems at all...sometimes I still stuggle with taking in all of my Water but that's it. Girl, it's the easiest thing...

The lapband did nothing for me! I lost 30lbs and was at the highest restriction I could be at. I learned how to cheat with it...it basically sucked for me. I had esophgeal dilatation...I had acid reflux...I was miserable because I wasn't losing anything and THEN gained everything back!!!

I'm glad that we have this option available for us when the band didn't work. You're gonna do great!

[soocalchic 1,087]

That's awesome so glad you're doing well.
