I am getting a revision from a recently failed Lab Band. It cant come soon enough for me. I feel like I am on a downward spiral..I've already gained 20 lbs.

I know exactly how you feel. Once the dr unfilled my band that was giving me so many problems I gained 25lbs before I got sleeved. But that just showed me that I really do need this tool to help keep me on track. My revision was on the 2nd and I couldn't be happier. It's a struggle but we can get over this hump. You can do it! Good luck and keep us updated on your journey. We all understand this struggle.

And I thought I was cutting it last minute..lol

So far mine is set for March 16th but my insurance company denied due to some out of network glitch. I should know more in the next day or so but I'm getting nervous.

March 10th here. I'm waiting for approval though, I shoyld know for sure by next week.

I cant thank you enough for the encouragement. I physically feel a little better since the band is open ( except for all the weight gain) but mentally it has been very challenging. I have always considered my band just a tool and really have worked long and hard to reach my goal. I am very encouraged and motivated by so many people in the same boat who are sharing their story and that the sleeve is an improved option for long term success. It is definitely reiteration that even after all these years of lifestyle modifications and hard work I still need it! I really appreciate it, I feel much more at ease that I have made the right decision. Here is to new beginnings! :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
