Congrats on your date! I'm a couple days before you on Jan. 15. I would love more sleeve buddies!

Thanks! I will be there a week since it's a revision, so I'm sure I will have plenty of time to update!

I'm Akin4Goal. Feel free to add me!

I'm Akin4Goal on mfp. I'm new also and getting sleeved Jan. 15th. Feel free to add me too! :-)

Jan. 15 revision with Dr. Ortiz in MX. SO READY!

how terrible is it that I read your post in a Jamaican accent? Hope you recover quickly and get those liquids down!

I am having a lap band to sleeve revision. In 2004 Dr. Ortiz placed my lapband and I lost 80 lbs. Then in 2010 my appendix ruptured and I became septic and they had to remeove my band. :-( 2 months later I was in a car accident and injured my back causing me to become immobile. Over the last 2 years I have gained back 75 lbs. I now weigh 225, and am in constant pain in my back and feet. I am really hoping getting the weight off again will ease the pain and allow me to begin exercising again. Since I have been through a surgery with OCC before and also because I have 3 kids at home, I will be traveling alone.

Thanks for the encouragement! I am really excited to get the sleeve done and get back to losing weight! Funny about the key! Thanks for the heads up about the lights!
