I was banded in 2005 and lost 100+ lbs when in 2011 the band slipped and was opened up. By the time it was replaced with another band, I had regained 50 lbs. On July 7, I had the band Converted to a sleeve. I would not have been prepared for some of the things that have happened to this date without my readings on Barriatricpal. The gaining a few lbs the first couple of days, the painful incisions, the ache in my shoulder fronm the gas. This is to say thank you to everyone that shares on this website. I look forward to my continuing journey and the support offered by the website.

I agree that it's a fantastic site for gaining information and support. Congratulations on having the sleeve. make sure you keep posting to let us all know how yu are doing
