thank you so much... why i am nervous is because i went from the lap band to the sleeve... and my band was to tight for 2.5 years so i did not get the proper nutrients... I'm afraid my body thinks I'm back there.... its scary because this is my second surgery and i am praying this is the answer to my troubles

Has this happen to anyone???

Mary E... how did you have both surgeries in one shit.. I was told I have to wait one month in between both

thank you Miss. Mac... that is very kind of you, and I appreciate the support

Hello... I had the gastric lap land 8 years ago. I was under 18 when I had the surgery (but not by much). At one point I lost over 100 pounds going from 265 to 153. (5'9 female). Life was great went to college was able to eat milk and Cookies and lose weight, worked out 2x a day, etc. 3 years ago I went for a swallow test (because my doctor never sent me for one) and the doctors found I was completely closed up. food, medicine, etc had not processed thru my band in over 2 years. I was malnourished, severely anemic, and now have a permanently enlarged esophagus. I have spike to a little over 200 and for 3 years now have struggles between a 5 pound radius not being able to budge the scale. I have been on every prescribed weightless medication out there (all have failed) and now have been given the option of the sleeve. I am scared it will be like all the medicines I tried, where I am excited and then they too fail. Whether I eat a little or a lot I don't lose weight. I want to feel what it is like to be happy and "light' again. Has anyone been or is in a similar boat? I would appreciate any offerings. Thanks so much.
