So far so good :rolleyes: , I am loving the sleeve, it's nothing like the band, when I am full, I am full, no food getting stuck, no puking up when I eat or drink :P (yaaa) no hunger feeling, I absolutely love it!! I am 7 weeks out and have lost 29 lbs. I am very happy with the results so far, I am doing zumba again, and have joined a gym. the inches are melting off :) so glad I made the decision to have the revision. :D :D Just wanted to update!!!!

That's so great to hear! I am 9 days post still going through the healing process, but I can already tell I'm going to love the sleeve. I felt like you with the band, food getting stuck, throwing up, being hungry but can't really get the food down so ice cream and slider foods were easy access. This seems so natural you eat and get full then stop eating! The hardest part is having to have liquids for 3 weeks, then mushy foods for 3 weeks. But I know it will be all worth it!????

Hi Alfie,

I'm a retired Verizon employee in MD with Anthem BC/BS. I was banded 11/19/06 and a few weeks ago my band of 6 years has to be removed due to many problems, one being a dilated esphogas. Before my band I was on so many meds, now have kept off 62 lbs and BMI is 34.5.

After speaking to my Anthem case worker Tuesday, I'm really afraid Anthem is going to deny my band to sleeve surgery due to my lower BMI and controlling my diabetes by diet and exercise. I am very concerned.....any thoughts or words of wisdom?

I'm scheduled for the revision on Dec 9. Can't wait to enjoy the sleeve :) happy to hear that you're doing so great!!

@A. Shoot, what do you mean good to your tummy?

I mean don't eat any slider foods, eat high Protein healthy foods, because slider foods are what gets you off the loosing track

Yes @@Eclectick the inches comes off before the pounds, but keep in mind everyone is different. My Dr told me everyone looks at the scale and not the tape. For me the inches are melting ????

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
