Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the site, I was a member of the Lapband forum, after doing research and being able to ask questions I decided to go with the sleeve. I'm excited about the new journey that I am about to begin and happy to have a site such as this to help guide me...

I have the lap band right now and will be having a revision on Tuesday may 28. You definitely made the right decision in going for the sleeve. Had I known about it a year ago, I never would have got the lap band!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. I too initially was going to get the LapBand until I spoke to a few neighbors with it. 3 lost weight, but didn't get fills, or had complications and have gained all of the weight back. The only has maintained hi weight loss but was recently diagnosed with band slippage and has to have it removed. Three are going to have to have revisions to the sleeve after seeing me lose 65lbs in 13 weeks. Good luck to you on your journey.

I was going to get a lap band too. But then doing my research and having a co-worker that gained weight with a lap band I decided to sleeve instead! The research for sleeve is very promising and gives me peace of mind that I'm doing the right decision. I too love this site! Everyone's success, fears and stories are really helping me so far! Counting down to my surgery date June 3rd. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
