Well after almost 5 long years of having the band not do a thing but cause problems for me,

Reflux, gaging, weight gain (lost 116, gained 40) and feeling like crap, I am set for tomorrow to have band removed, and sleeved. YAY!

Have lost 9 lbs in the past 6 days from the preop diet.

Not too bad. Have not been hungry, which is a good thing. The shakes help a lot.

So wish me luck, and I will see you on the flip side.

I had my band removed in April after loosing 90 lbs. Since then I have gained back 15. I get my Sleeve on Nov 9.. YAY!!!! I am feeling some people think since I only have 70 lbs to make my goal... that that isn't enough to need to loose to get a Sleeve.. but, I know if I don't do this.. over time I will gain everything back that I have already lost!

I have around 50 lbs that I would still like to lose and around 80 lbs per the charts.

Dear Montiep..I see you had everything at once. I'm having Band removed on Wed Oct 9th. but I have to wait till Jan to be Sleeved. My Doc wants to wait for new tissue to grow. That is how he does it. I hope you are doing well. I was hoping to see how someone was after Band removed, but you are on to the next thing.. Good Luck...JewelJ
