I haven't had the sleeve but am doing revision hopefully in February after my 3 nutrition visits in 90 days for my insurance and then approval.

Right now I am 5'11" and approx 352-360lbs. When talking with my doctor she said don't worry about the number as much as your goal feeling and size, for us taller women with larger bones 150 might look icky. I'm shooting for 199... So I can be in onederland... And see how I feel there!

I'm in the Seattle area too! I go to Northwest Weight Loss Surgery in Everett, Wa! They are absolutely amazing! I had the band about 3 years ago and not to much success, however I went in on Thursday and will be getting revision to sleeve with the same doctor! They have support groups that are amazing and fun! All the patients and staff are very supportive and understanding, my favorite is almost every person that works for them has personally had WLS! So they can relate and it's real. I am very nervous about the revision. I do have to wait 3 months as my insurance has requirements, and one of them is meeting with a nutritionist 4 times in 90 days, and then request approval for the surgery. I am hoping I will be getting the surgery in February!

I met with the doctor yesterday and it sounds like the sleeve is a go! I have to wait 3 months to do the prep for my insurance to be able to pay but then should have surgery in feb. very nervous I will "fail" with this tho.

I am new to this don't quite understand how to use it! Lol. Learning.

Hello all! I currently am banded and no success really 3 years out???? I am very frustrated as you can imagine! Can any banded to sleevers give me some advise or did the sleeve work better?! I have an appointment on Thursday to talk to my band doc about doing something different! Thanks!!
