Well, I am officially approved for band to sleeve revision on Oct. 24th.

My doc wants to do it in ONE surgery. My band has been drained for 2 years so he feels one surgery would be fine. I pray that is the right decision.

I am having a bitter sweet moment... I am excited for the new journey and praying it is the best decision for myself and that I am successful especially since I was NOT on the band. But the biggest struggle to me is having a 15 month old son that needs me. The thought of not picking him up for 6 weeks seems like eternity and I am sure will be so hard on both of us.

I can't really afford to put it off because insurance approved it and I my deductibles are met for this year.

So I really hope and pray this decision works out for both of us

I think having an active mom in the future will pay off.

So I'm joining the Oct new band to sleeve revisions

I had major surgery when my youngest was that age, we made a game of him climbing onto my lap. it worked for us! You can get thru it....

Thank you!!!

I had my revision on September 10, 2012 and it was absolutely the best thing I could have done. I now weigh under 200 pounds, I bounce between 167-170, a place that I have not been since my teens. Did not get here with the band at all. I wish you all the best and you will do fantastic!!
