New to community... liquid pre op starts tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Jennifer. I was banded in April 2009. I have had limited success with the band and have begun to have reflux issues. I was given insurance approval for a band to sleeve revision just before Christmas. My surgery date is scheduled for Jan 9th and I begin my pre op diet tomorrow. I just wanted to introduce myself as I am trying to prepare mentally for the surgery. I am beginning to get a little anxious and doubting myself. I know the band needs to come out; I just am extremely scared of the increased risks of going from band to sleeve. Just please keep me in your thoughts and prayers!!

Here are just a few stats on me:

PRE BAND HIGH WEIGHT- 272

BANDED 04-19-2009. SURGERY WEIGHT- 260

CURRENT WEIGHT- 213

Sorry you have to go through this but I am sure you have researched this and believe it is the best thing for you to do. I had considered the band but my doc said he was no longer doing the band due the number of bands he had to remove from corrosion issues and that the band was not as successful with the amount of weight lost. I am glad I went with the sleeve as I have had no issues, am losing as I am suppose to and feel 20 years younger!! I wish you thievery best and know that you have a lot of support on here!! Do you use my fitness pal app? If so you can add me as a friend if you like, name is the same as on here. Keep us posted

Hi...I'm new too. I'm hoping to have a revision to the sleeve. I had the lapband done April 2008...weighed 278 day of surgery. I was able to get down to 189 (5'7). But now as of this morning, I'm 213. I have an appt this month with the surgeon's office who did my lapband. I hope he will be willing to agree to a revision. Also I'm hoping my insurance will approve. Good thing is that I have a new insurance company since the lapband. Anyway, I'm tired of getting stuck on simple stuck like diced chicken, back burns after eating, I've had too many embarrasing moments of vomiting after being filled & unfilled. I just want this band out & lose weight.

Good luck to you on your weight loss!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
