Wow! That is amazing!

Lots of Sandras from nj I am seeing! Lol I am in Mays Landing. Where ya from?

You are a revision from band to sleeve? Your weight loss is very impressive!! Good for you!

I was wondering how much weight band to sleeve revisions patients have lost. I currently have the band. It has slipped, waiting on surgery date for removal. I will be getting sleeved probably around April after all requirements have been met. I have heard many people don't lose as fast when they revise from band. Can anyone tell me how their weight loss and experience has been? Thank you

Dr Attia's scale is def 5 pounds over. I go there too. I am just starting the process. I had lap band surgery in 2009. What a f#cking joke!! I am still the same wait. The lowest I was when I was pregnant with my son. Mainly because all I did was vomit. I am revising to sleeve hopefully by March. Dr. Attia's bariatric coordinator is Ardenia. She used to work with my original surgeon. She is awesome and knows me on a first name basis. I am looking forward to being on the losers bench!

I have read and heard that band to sleeve patients have had slow weight loss and that the sleeve doesn't work as well.... I am considering the sleeve and this news scares and worries me.... Please share your weight loss and any struggles you may have had... Thank you!

Hi. I'm new to this forum. I got my band in 2009 and have lost a total of 30 pounds, gained 20 back. Weirdly my lowest weight was when I was 7 months pregnant! I hate my band and have an appointment for the beginning stages of revision to sleeve. I was wondering if anyone has gone to Dr. Attia in Vineland?
