Quote I had a consult with a surgeon and he's trying to talk me into the band. Given my bmi is only 36, He thinks I will loose a great amount of weight and become malnourished. I believe there are other reason for his push on the band. Like follow ups and the fills, means more . I over heard him through the wall, to the room next to mine, trying to push the band on another patient. Should I give the band a try first then have revision later if it fails?? So stressed over this! I have had the band for five years and for about the first 2 1/2 it worked great. I am finishing my final process to have a revision to the sleeve. Because my complications with the band are becoming so unbearable! I am actually on an all starch diet due to gastritis which I have NEVER had in my life. Now with these last few weeks constant diarrhea and dry heaves are horrible and make u feel dizzy! Honestly I would choose the sleeve first if I knew what I know now. Aftercare is set up for any and everything required. You don't even come in till you feel you need it. Why put yourself through two surgeries the sleeve was the newest option When I got my band five years ago Chat With me privately if you want to keep talking about it

Hey I live In Houston as well bear creek copperfield area!

That is strange but I guess every place is different in getting reports depending on the lab that's doing the test. Before I got my lap band I went through sleep apnea testing And was diagnosed with OSA. After going from 240 pounds 165 pounds I still had the same score on my sleep apnea test or the same restriction. After getting my sleep apnea machine prior to my banding, I believe I did have to wait a week or two For my surgery and a date to become available. When you're looking for a device for your sleep apnea For a mask should I say Make sure you try all the options the night of your sleep study. I chose the one that just went over my nose because I am not a mouth breather or someone who snores. There are several different styles to choose from. If you do suffer from OSA( Obstructed sleep apnea). When you wear your mask at night you will notice a drastic improvement in your quality sleep for as little or as much as you get.

My name is Mckenna am 25years old and live in texas. I currently have the realize band and have been having so many complications and I am going on about 5 years with it now. Since my problems have Been getting worse I finally said enough is enough and I am doing a revision to have the sleeve done the same day my band is taken out. Because of my complications I don't have to go through the waiting period I met with my surgeon today and after my nutrition meeting tomorrow I am all set to go as soon as the team or docs review my case because I use a center of excellence. If anyone could inbox me or comment with your wisdom or experiences that would be great! Thank you!

I work for a doctors office... When you do a sleep study they get the results get back in two- three days generally ... What you're gonna be waiting on is a surgery date to become available and your preop instructions pretty much I think Let me know about your surgery mine is going to be in a month or so
