Converting from band to Sleeve on August 13!

[BethC 11]

Conversion surgery on Aug 13. Since I am lower BMI and a conversion pre op diet doesnt start until Aug 6. I may do it for the full 2 weeks though - I had the Fluid removed from band in June and have steadily gained weight ever since! Need this!

For the last year i have suffered with acid reflux. Could not sleep through the night without stuff coming out my nose. I know...gross

Hello All. I'm a converter too. Same issues... everyday vomitting with the band. Had lots of scar tissue and blockage of esophagus. Finally ditched the band in Jan this year. BMI is 35.8. Can only lose about 3lbs to still qualify for sleeve. It's shocking how fast the weight came back on after band removal. I had to appeal insurance decision to look at my case as a continuation of my treatment rather than a new case. Finally, after a month they approved me... but i'm not taking any chances... bmi will be 35 on surgery day.
