I am scheduled on 4/27 for the gastric sleeve. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I had a lapband in 2007 but it prolapsed in Aug of 2015. The band worked while it worked but it was all over with when they removed the fluid in August. I have regained a significant amount of weight back. I had reached my goal weight of 147 and was able to maintain for three years until the band prolapsed. And now I feel like the good year blimp! Lol... But moving on!
