Hi everybody. I've been reading the forums and cheering yall on for a few months now. I currently have the lap band. I've had it a few years and was never really successful with it. The little bit that I lost I gained back plus some. I made the decision to have the revision to sleeve done. It took me about a year to make that decision but I'm hoping to finally live my life to the fullest. I got the call today that I'm approved! I'm scheduled for March 2nd. Seems as if it took forever to get here but now seems like a whirlwind. I'm very excited and very afraid to fail at this one too. Yall are so encouraging and informative. I can't wait!

Welcome!

awesome. welcome. congrats on the approval.

Thank you!

I am sure you will do well. There are quite a few band/sleeve revision people on this forum and they seem to do fine.

Congrats and welcome!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a friend that had the band and several years later had the lap band taken out and had the gastric sleeve. She is doing fantastic. She is 1 1/2 years out and has lost 100 pounds and feels awesome.

Wow that's great! I hope to follow those footsteps!
