Upper GI Today

Today is day one of my journey to the sleeve. I am on the 6 month track per my insurance. Today I am due for the Upper GI. I am so nervous about the whole process. My doctor says that the risk is much greater because of my prior surgery.

      It is really scary, I am in the same boat. Have had the lap band since 2007. I go for my Upper GI next week. Good luck on your journey

    The risk is much greater for what? What was your previous surgery?

    Well I have the lapband and I am working to revise to the sleeve. He stated that the risks associated with surgery are greater because of the scar tissue and other factors from my lapband surgery, than that of someone that has never had bariatric surgery at all.
