I have the lap band with issues... bcbs peehip has approved my revision surgery and my doc can do it as soon as next Tuesday or Thursday (my choice). Im so scared but ready! I lost 50 pounds with the band then stopped losing. Not sure I will have the support of my teenage kids... they worry about me bc they have seen all the problems I have had with the band... (frequent vomitting, pain, ulcers, etc) I worry they will just want me to get the band out!!!!

Wonderful, I go next Wednesday May 7, I'm getting scared as well! God has us and all will be well!

Congrats ladies I had the same problem. Although my Dr took my lapband out feb 11 and I had the sleeve done April 14 I'm doing well. My Dr wouldn't do it all at once due to extra internal bleeding from scarf tissue but you will be fine
