Thank you all. I will seek a second opinion. It doesnt hurt to try. I appreciate all the feedback.

i saw him today and asked about revising to a sleeve. he said insurance would never approve because my weight is too low. has anyone been through this? this has discouraged me. i am very unhappy with my band and it has been difficult to eat. All he said was let's do an adjustment. now i feel like there is no hope. i have to live with this band or get it removed. this sucks but i knew what i was getting into when i got the band.

I switched because I couldn't eat. I mean I would chew up my food very fine, small bites and all that and yet I spent most of my time vomiting. It was very hard. I stayed sick a lot. I wasn't losing weight, it was tough. I switched to a sleeve, all in one surgery and I feel great! I've already lost 22lbs.

Thank you for replying. I totally understand what you mean about not being able to eat. It has become frustrating for me. Im so happy for you and your outcome so far. Keep up the good work. You're doing great!

Hello All,

It has been quite a while since I've been on here. I'm currently not too happy with the way my band makes me feel which is why I'm seeking a revision. I''m going to speak with my surgeon about the issues I'm having and was wondering if you all have any advice for me as far as going from the band to sleeve? What has been your experience and are you happy with your decision? What made you choose to revise? Any feedback both positive and negative is ok. Thank you all in advance and good luck to those who have surgeries coming up.

Congrats! Awesome accomplishment!

I do clean eating, read about paleo way to go!

You look great! Keep up the good work

I agree about the Internet being full of endless ideas, that's why I wasn't excited about the idea but thought id ask anyway. Honestly WW Just seems like it isn't for me. I'd rather pay for a gym membership or extra cardio classes or even some nice workout gear. Thanks for the responses.

Lately I've been needing some extra support with meal planning and meal ideas. I have been considering joining WW but I wouldn't purchase their frozen meals because I eat minimally processed foods. How has anybody experience been with WW. Has anyone tried the new WW 360 program?

Thanks in advance

What is your favorite Thanksgiving/November Activity?~ well we always go on vacation after thanksgiving to a warm tropical place. This year is Hawaii. So it is vacation for me and I hope to be in onederland for it. The past week has been extremely challenging. We are dealing with the aftermath of hurricane sandy and are lucky enough to have a home but have no power for 6 days now which means in my house we can't even use the toilet or shower. I have curtailed my stress eating, not sure how but I did it. Exercise is non-existent since the streets are a mess and no power for the treadmill. We are at our wits end. I just want to cry right now. I am exhausted from working so much since I am essential personnel. House is cold so a good nights sleep is not happening. But this too will pass. Thanks for letting me vent.
