Hello to all of you. Am new here, but would like to share. Had lap band in '05, not a great success. Plus my port came lose and has been trying to razor it's way out for years. They told me to hand manipulate it back into the scar tissue and not lift anything over 8 pounds for awhile. They didn't tell me that it would just continue to happen and that this was the beginning of the end to many enjoyable life experiences. Have finally found a doctor that will remove it and immediately sleeve me without making me gain all the weight back, which I also find impossible to even think of. Both of my sisters had problems with the lap band, and a friends sister died when one ruptured and she somehow bled out. So, am anxious to get this out and hoping for great results with the sleeve.
