Bummed my best friend suffered a stroke and I had to postpone my surgery to help her. I had a real tough time with the liquid diet and now I have to do it again

Nysha, I am having surgery on the 21st as well. I really had a hard time with the pre-op diet too but I am making my self do it. I started and gave up and started again and I am going to get through this. It does seem to be getting better. I am a big fan of sugar free popsciles now. Hang in there.....

Life threatning erosion but ready for Sleeve
ShanC replied to Mariposa Bella's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I too have been hesitant to get the sleeve because what I went through with the Lap band errosion was so bad. I am scheduled for surgery next week and go back in forth as to whether or not I am doing the right thing. I gained all my weight back after the band was removed and cant wait to be thinner and feel better about myself. I am glad to see that you have had such success. -
Thats Is awesome. I am having my sleeve on 9/21/11. I had a lap band that erroded previously so I have been scared. However, I am ready to start this journey. I am so glad that you guys are doing well. Your success is encouraging.

How do feel about the lapband now that you have had yours removed?
ShanC replied to Becca's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am not a fan of the lap band. I had one errode in 6 months and I am getting ready to have a sleeve. I am really torn between scared and excited. I am hoping this works better. -

I too had a band errode and its been 3 years Ive gained all my weight back and am scheduled to have a sleeve next week. I am very afraid having gone through such a bad experience before and I know this surgery is going to be more complicated do to my damaged stomach. Its nice to know that other people have made it past this and have somewhat of an understanding. -
I am 37 year old woman with one daughter and a husband who is in the Army. I had a lap band in 2007 that erroded and getting ready to have a sleeve next Wednesday. The preop liquid diet is proving to be very difficult and and I am quite nervous since I had so many problems with my previous weight loss surgery. I really hope this goes well and I can get back on track to being me again only smaller
