I had the band and lost 55 pounds (210 to 155) , it slipped and had to be removed. I have gained 20 pounds back. My weight now is 177 and I am 5'4, I have been approved for the sleeve because the band failed.... I am so worried that I am going to lose to much weight with the sleeve. Say I lose just 50 pounds with the sleeve I'll be 127, that's to skinny for me.... But if I don't get it I will continue to gain.... I dont know what to do .......

I read people wanting to stockpile stuff, how long will it take before i can go shopping

I was told not to use a straw... Anyone else ?

I was approved because my band slipped

Hello, Your question is one thats been on my mind.. i had the band and lost 55 pounds, it slipped and had to be removed. I have gained 20 pounds back. My weight is 177 and I am 5'4, I have been approved for the sleeve.... I am so worried that I am going to lose to much weight.. Say I lose just 40 pounds I'll be 137, that's to skinny for me.... But if I don't get it I will continue to gain.... I dont know what to do .......

Why did are we seeing more GS ?

Point well taken

Hello, I had the lapband for 5 yrs, lost 60 pounds, (210 to 150). band slipped had it removed, started to gain weight back. I am at 177 pounds now and and think if I loss 50 pounds with the sleeve i will be to SKINNY. Any thoughts....

It was only approved because the band had failed.....

Insurancnce approved it because the Band failed

They say if a band has slipped for some reason the new band will slip also. I very happy to hear that you don’t think I’ll lose 50 pounds… that is my concern

The PCP gave me clearence.
