Moving right along here on this journey. I had my Band out Oct 9th. I had my check up with my Surgeon and now have my date for the Sleeve. It will be Feb 5th , 2014. My Surgeon wants me to have a endoscopy done by my GI Doc. I have had one before. Than a Pre op visit with him in Dec. and that will be it. Now I just want to watch the weight over the holidays.. It already seems hard. Any ideas out there that anyone can share. I did get a NINJA MACHINE.. So if anyone has any good.. fixing drinks I can put together, bring them on... Thanks for any help...JewelJ

Congrats on your band removal. I just had my band removed 11-13-13 and will be sleeved on 12-28-13. My doc likes to wait 6 weeks after the band is removed before he does the sleeve. Congrats again....

So far so good with the food. I still feel like I have a little restriction even though the band has been taken out .
