No answer to that but go hawks!!!!!

Yay, glad to hear this. Many years of training horses has messed up my knees.

I felt so much better too.

Just low carb for me.

I haven't had the sleeve yet but after my lap band..... for sure I was cold after. My dr says anemia.

Woo hoo! Omg yeah fluid out if the band was amazing !

Hi I am getting a band to sleeve revision soon also. Welcome !

How did it go ?

Woo hoo!

Hi I don't have my date yet Most likely beginning of oct as well.

So sorry that is happening to you. I had a baby and mine started to go bad afterward too. To the point if er surgery after throwing up liquids for a month. I lost 140 with the band I had about 10 years. I'm almost done with pre op for the sleeve. I am so sorry for your losses as well. I suggest going to your doctor because it usually just gets worse. I waited to long to fix it , just had to come out. Just my opinion.

Thank you! You as well

Ah, I figured it was thru the mouth so I researched it after I saw it. I hope you get some feedback and I hope whatever way you choose works well for you thanks, it was horrible and I had it repaired a month after gallbladder surgery. I was so sore for awhile lol. I have not had it yet ... hopefully the end of the month or beginning. sorry for the confusion

i have never had or heard of endoscopic but I am sure someone can help. I had my band removed as well. It slipped so bad it was pinching my stomach so an er trip. Anywho, I decided on the sleeve as well

You are so right! Good luck to you as well and thanks for replying

I had my band out last winter and now I, healed I'm going to the sleeve soon. I lost 140 lbs with the band till it went bad. So I'm ready to get back at it.

Hi, welcome I am finishing all my pre op stuff and hopefully a date this month. I have a psych consult and cardiac clearance

Thoughts and prayers !

I know when I work out I get muscle and my scale gets higher but my inches go down. Swimming is great for building muscle. Keep your chin up ! Also if you don't get the support from your doctors you can switch and find somewhere to help.

Haven't had yet mine but when I have got consipated /gas gas that's how it felt. :/ maybe check in with your doctor too.

When you lose weight all the stuff stored in your fat comes out. It's normal to feel this way for sure.

I had a band for about 10 years. I had a 22 inch baby and that started my band slipping. I'm hoping that the stats are wrong too. Thanks to those that posted.

Hi! I'm new here and I have started the process to get my sleeve done. A little back story ... (if you want to read it lol) I had my lap band for 10 years and lost 140 lbs and kept most of it off till I got pregnant 4 years ago. My band had started slipping and I had it unfilled for that time. He was 22 inches long when born so he moved my band and it ended up slipping ... it kept slipping (puked for months) till end of last year it was pinching my stomach and had emergency surgery to have it out. I was on bedrest for complications from this, then gallbladder surgery , as well and a foot injury so I have gained so much back all since January. I tried eating right and I work out walking/swimming because of my bad knee and foot. Sooooo I find myself starting all over again. I feel like I failed last time and I am going to try again. I feel I could do it once I could do it again? . The sleeve when healed seems like a better way to go.... so to my question ..... sorry for being long winded. I never had a psych consult with my last surgery or at all... what should I expect? I am afraid of failing because I get a little depressed sometimes when things go to crap.... thanks for reading

Awesome, thank you for sure I can see why doctors have this done. At first I was like "man, does he think I'm crazy? Lol"

Thanks
