The only resolution I have for 2012 is that I will be sleeved in the summer....I am still nervous, but I know I need this Lapband out of me, 7 years with it and no results....

Hi, glad you posted this question, I have the same question... I was banded in 2005...haven't had any complications such as erosion or slipping (thank God) but have decided to have this procedure done in June 2012 (have to wait until summer, teacher) I hope people respond!

I paid out of pocket for my lapband back in 05... I'm now looking to pay out of pocket for revision because my school district has a total exclusion on WLS So, I'm going to finance it again....still very angry with my district

Oh congrat!! So happy for you....please keep up posted on your progress!!

Thank you for the responses....I'm looking forward to my revision....excited and nervous at the same time!

Hi everyone, I've been a lurker for a couple of months now.....decided to build up the courage to ask a question.. I was banded back in 2005....and at the most I have lost 30 pounds, I really need to lose 150 pounds....I find myself getting really hungry, and when I work out its the worst!! It like I am STARVING and when I eat I end up eating too fast and pbing...... a friend of mine had me talk to a cousin of hers who had the sleeve, and I have decided to do the revision surgery....I'm a teacher so I will need to wait until the summer, so the plan is to have it June 2012... Now my question is has anyone had the same issue with the band as me?? I dont have any issues with slippage or erosion or anything like that...

Congrats! Wishing you more and more success....I get my band removed and sleeved in June 2012...going to break it to my family on thanksgiving!!!

I live in SW Houston, haven't had the surgery yet...having it in June 2012 with Dr. Marvin. I would like to attend if you dont mind....
