I'm not sure what to do my lap band has slipped and my BMI is only 31 so I don't qualify for the gastric sleeve I'm scared to take out my lap and I don't want to get back up to 280 again. Has anybody ever been approved for the sleeves with a low BMI? Can I live with a slipped band? Help!! Ty!!

I've read that having Fluid removed for a period of time can help the band go back into place. Have you tried this

I recently had all my Fluid removed until July so I know the struggle. I've been doing Protein Drinks for Breakfast and lunch then a dinner but I've made sure all is heavy with Protein which has helped keep me from being hungry

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
