So frustrated. I'm on month 5 of my 6 month WL program for conversion from lap band go either sleeve or Rny. My doctor has a new nurse and she drops a bomb on me this morning that I have to lose about 30lbs before surgery or he won't do it, which is potentially mid March. What??? This is the first mention of this in the entire 5 months. If I could 15lbs a month with the band I wouldn't be here. I am the most compliant patient ever and do everything they tell me to a T. I've made diet and exercise changes that the NUT asked me to and my weight is still basically up and down the same 5lbs. I don't even know what to do...

ETA: My band is still so tight most days that I vomit and cannot get concrete food down. I have 1.5 in my band. This current surgeon is not the one who originally placed my band.

I would speak to your Surgeon. It might not be that amount of weight. I would just put it to him in the way you feel. Good Luck Keep us posted. Most of all don't fret, that won't help at all. Good Luck
