Hello I'm located in Dutchess County N.Y. I have had the lap-band since May 2013 I have not been successful. I went down to 178lbs but then regained 22lbs back. I am now going to have a sleeve revision I pray to God it works I am so nervous I don't want to fail. The lap-band will be removed March 2nd and I have to wait 8 weeks to have revision I'm so scared of the weight I will gain in between any suggestions?

Having surgery to remove the band will take you off regular eating for a least a few days! Lol.

Seriously though, I would suggest having dietitian visits lined up and a plan set up before the band is removed to help avoid this. I think your being aware of this issue will help you avoid it. Best of luck!
