As I come closer to my last pre op required appointment which is Thursday, then they will submit approval. I am thinking of more issues, being a revision I am terrified of losing weight and then regaining it just like with the lab band. I do not want put my self and body thru this all to regain the weight back. I know I didn't "fail" with the band, we weren't a good partnership. However, will the sleeve be a better partner long haul? =\

Gaining all the weight back or not losing any is probably my biggest fears. My surgery is about a week away. All I can say is start making changes now to prepare yourself for what is coming. The bottom line is that if you don't make the changes, the sleeve will be a temporary victory but the outcome will be the same.

Weight Loss Surgery is not a DO-OVER (repeat same mistakes = get a similar outcome.) Weight Loss Surgery is a DO-BETTER (make lifestyle changes you can continue forever.)

The person who runs this site did not do the sleeve but she has some great advise for making the changes stick and some awesome recipes.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Great advice!!
