Early Christmas Present, I just got approved for revision surgery!



Recommended Posts

So Merry Christmas and Thank you Jesus for the miracle of beign approved for revision lapband to sleeve surgery!!

It has been along road being told no unless i come up with a 5 year food diary for everything i put in my mouth. Yes, they really demanded that journal. It wasnt what i put in my mouth that was the problem it was the faulty lapband and being to tight, then leaking and all the hoops I had to jump. The slap in the face was the unfair treatment of my old dr blaming me and not admitting that my band was bad. Thank God I went to another doctor out of network who is a pioneer in his field. So now I am on the right road to beign healthy and happy!

"Merry Christmas"

Congrats. My band stopped working too. I had 2 port replacements, and finally a slip. I got it out in April 13, and got my sleeve 2 weeks ago. The sleeve is sooooooooooo much better than the band. You will be thrilled with the difference. It's a lot of hard work, but worth it.

That is a fabulous Christmas gift! I had a band for 2 years then had it removed; sleeve surgery was two months ago & I love it! Feel so much better and I have lost almost as much weight in the 2 months since sleeve surgery as I did in two years with the band so I know you are going to do great :) Congratulations & Merry Christmas!

      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! 😞
