Well I relate with your feelings I was never so scared with the band, I think the fact of knowing 80% of my stomach is going to be cut off scares me!!! With the band all kind of stats in place !

Thank you for sharing! I guess after the Lapband the sleeve might be easier I'm used to throwing up everywhere and food getting stuck in my band all the time so I'm scared for the sleeve but reading here I think it's not worse than the band, I did loose weight with the band but I also got to know the toilets of every restaurant around!

I got band in Guatemala City lived my band until 4 month ago started with terrible reflux and couldn't sleep with cough and acid coming out if my nose, getting sleeved on May 5th my Dr. Mark Pleatman in Bloomfield michigan he charges $13200 self pay! Good luck

Hi, Im thrilled for finding this app, I did my Lapband 3 years ago it went great! Until 4 months ago I started having horrible reflux episodes while sleeping. About 6 events per night coughing terribly and I tried everything even sleeping in a seated position. So my Lapband had to be unfilled, my esophagus was swollen and dilated and dr does not recommend filling it again, in these months with my unfilled band I have gained 18 pounds. I'm still at this moment a low BMI patient but I'm going for the sleeve on May 5th. Has anyone had this experience? How is the sleeve on low BMI patients? I would appreciate to know about someone with similar experience

Hunger pains? Mm I hope I don't get those and maybe it's just in the beginning while your new stomach recovers from being swollen!

Mine is May 5th can't wait either! Good luck
