I am not in that boat but was worried due to lack of fills for several years WHAT if I had a leak. Before they even checked, I asked what would happen or what it would consist of. I was told it is not all that rough or even to the degree of what we went through when we had the initial surgery. That it is pretty easy, I guess they just pull out the old port put in a new one and attach it. That the leak is not generally even with the band itself. If I had to do something I would opt for just getting the port fixed and not do the sleeve, but that is me.. Keep us posted!!

Everyone has their own individual journey to follow. You have chosen the path that is right for you, so you walk your path. Hold your head up high. You've done all you can do. Maybe, just maybe, she'll see you get to goal in a healthy manner and it will inspire her to clean up her act. If not, you can't do anything more to help her. She's grown and she will do what she wants to do. Good luck to YOU on YOUR journey!!

You already have a great attitude. You are gonna do great. Don't worry about your friend. Congrats

After reading all of the issues with the pre-op diet I am hoping I will be able to function properly during my work days. I am starting my diet on the 22nd with surgery on the 29th. I believe I am more stressed about my emotional being that week than I am about the pending surgery! I am brand new to this blog, however I believe there is great support here!

I did that once right before surgery and a couple of times afterwards. I am normally a very outgoing, happy person - we all can just have a bad day. This too shall pass. Trust me!

Lack of food or food from your normal diet, your brain can become tired. And there may be underlying stress that you aren't fully aware of.

Yep, even this old lady has re-discovered how great sex can be after some weight loss! It's amazing and I am much more active than before. DH is very happy and so am I!
