OMG I NEVER EVER EVER Thought this day would come but my crap band removal and revision is set for Wednesday . I am SOOO READY FOR THIS ! The only thing i am nervous about is if he cant do my revision in one surgery ! I sure hope he can !!!

I had my removal done in April and just got my approval for my sleeve!!! January 14 is my date. Congrats to us both. Best wishes...

I have to admit I'm nervous that 5 years from now I'll regret this like I did the band and there's nothing to reverse . BUT--I'm hopeful that the sleeve will be what I thought the band was going to be...

Crystal I have the same fear , But I know people several years out w/ the sleeve and dont see NEAR as many issues as with the band .

right now im worried about waking up w/ out the sleeve for several reasons.

He warned me it might not happen if my stomach is too inflamed.

But also i had to have a fundraiser to get the money for the deductible for this surgery , if I have to have another one it will be next year and another $2000 Deductible ! UGH

But he said he will do it as long as its safe.

So cross your fingers.
