TLC223

I am scheduled for June 15. My stats are pretty close to yours: 5' 185 lbs LOVE to eat. I am a band revision and was a huge failure because of how I like to over eat. Let's stay in touch since our dates and stats are so close.

I'm in Katy and would LOVE to have local folks for support. Count me in.

Hi Ana, I haven't gotten my sleeve yet, however I am scheduled for my band to sleeve revision in June. I am right at 5' and am scared to death that I'll get discouraged because I'll be a slow loser because of my height/BMI. Did you lose regularly at a decent rate? Thanks, terri

I'm scheduled for June 13. Can't wait to connect with you all to compare notes. I'm in Houston.

Short stuff in Texas, too! ( west Houston) I LOVE this discussion because we do have very different issues. I have learned so much on this entire site, but this is even better! I am just under 5', a Lapband revision and not scheduled until June. Congratulations to all of you for your losses far!

Thank you all for your descriptions! I feel much better now- I'm excited to get this show on the road!

I have been lurking in this thread for a while now, and you guys have really answered a lot of questions I had. However, I still have some reservations about if the sleeve is right for me. My biggest problem with the band, besides the vomiting, chronic heartburn,never finding the phantom sweet spot, and getting stuck, was never feeling satisfied or full; I just felt STUCK, and once unstuck, still hungry. Can anyone describe how the full feeling with the sleeve differs from that? Do you actually feel full and satisfied? I was self pay with the band and feel like I just threw that money away, so I want to be very sure before I try again. I'm so confused!! Help me please- Thanks!!

I'm in Houston, too. Glad to find you! I will be a Lapband revision, but I'm not scheduled till June. Where are you having your surgery? Good luck and keep me posted.
