Hi Jennifer... I am new to the group as well... Not sure yet how to talk with everyone would but would love to get in a chat with everyone here and hear their stories... I am had lap band in Feb 2010 and awaiting Ins. approval for conversion to sleeve. I have a lot of questions and would love to have some imput...

Thanks for the info... Did you have the lap band prior to the sleeve?

Thanks for sharing everyone... I am "anded" also and waiting for Ins. approval for the conversion to sleeve... I love reading the stories... Thaks again...

Thanks desertmom...for the info... I have lost weight with the band... but, like you said, it hasn't been easy, and most times not very pleasant... lol

Hello. Wondering about the "band to sleeve"... Anyone that might have had reflux or heartburn prior to banding and then without... how's the sleeve working in that area?

Thanks for writing me back... Sorry to hear that you are dealing with the heartburn/reflux... During the lap band surgery my doctor repaired the hiatal hernia and I had absolutely no heartburn whatsoever, until a few months back when I had that horrible experience of a partial obstruction... and ever since then, I've had a few problems, even with most of the fluid removed... Soooooooo... I am looking forward to hearing from my Ins regarding the sleeve... I believe this is the way I want to go... Thanks for sharing... Connie

Great... thanks for the info... I will continue to read...read...read... God Bless...

Hello Ya'll... Is this still an active forum??? I would love to know how you are doing? I am "banded" and considering the sleeve... any helpful comments?
