Can I be sleeved if band caused damage?
mermaiddreams replied to Thistlegirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Best of luck to you! I had my band removed and my doctor said I needed to wait at least 6 months before my sleeve to let my insides adjust. I had A LOT of scar tissue. I've read that band to sleeve don't loose as quickly but we do loose. We just need to let everything heal first. -
Is there anyone out there who regrets getting the sleeve?
mermaiddreams replied to Jschultes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My band is out! Feeling much better! It was taken out on 8/7 in Mexico by Guillermo Alvarez. Best experience ever!!! He said i had a lot scar tissues which he removed and that I needed to wait at least 6 months for healing in order to get the sleeve. It's a great relief having it out. I don't regret getting it but I do regret waiting to get it removed so long. So much damage it caused . Liquids for a few days then slowly move into soft and then regular food. -

I just had mine out 8/7/14 in Mexico by Guillermo Alvarez and I feel great of course sore but better I wish you the best. -
Get it out! I had those problems and more and it's just torture. I had mine removed and I wish I had it removed it 5 years ago. They don't go away but get worse. Sorry to hear of your struggle.

My little lap band monster is coming out!
mermaiddreams replied to mermaiddreams's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm nervous but can't wait to be free. I'm a self pay so the sleeve will be next. I want time for my body to heal and adjust to not being banded before the sleeve is done. Aug. 7th is the removal date.
