It has been almost 4 years since I logged in on here. I was banded Sept, of 2013. I lost 60 lbs, but gained it all back since. I am not to my official high of 350 But I"m dang close.

So long story short, I am getting Sleeved on January 31. I got my Band off in September 2018. I have waited the 3 months for it to heal. Also had a major fight with the insurance Company. They denied me twice. so we appealed to the state. The state over turned their verdict.( YAY!)

So Just wanted to say Hiya to everyone and join this forum.

@Daliaha

Welcome back, nice to see you again☺️

Sorry you had problems with the band (regain, erosion etc)

glad you fought with insurance and won!!

Hopefully, things will go smoothly with the sleeve.

You probably had similar rules with the band as you will have with the sleeve -

ways to eat, etc follow all rules. I always think water is the most important.

drink at least 64 oz - don't drink 1/2 hr before you eat -never drink while you eat -

WAIT an hour after you eat before you drink again

I lost 105 lbs 7 years ago, and continue to maintain (little fluctuations)

follow all the rules, listen to your NUT (and me! lol) You will be a success too!!

good luck
