Hi there I also had a band fitted and then within 6 months was diagnosed with cervical cancer, now 6 years on had the band removed and am on a pathway to revision to sleeve or bypass. Both bypass and sleeve are restrictive so they will restrict the amount you can eat but if you graze all day you can overeat. Sent from my VFD 700 using BariatricPal mobile app -

I understand from previous surgery that the preop diet is low in carbs so you lose glycogen which holds water, and as you start to eat again you regain the water you lost but are still losing fat. Sent from my VFD 700 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi there I have a band and am converting (hopefully) to a sleeve. I only told a couple of people that I am going for a sleeve. I knew my sister's would not approve they were told after. Weight loss is an journey that does not stop. Ignorance well if all the diets worked everyone would not be overweight. Sent from my KFTT using the BariatricPal App
