I'm glad there will be someone a week before me. I have anxiety anyway so I'm sure this last month will be really hard. I'm also a teacher so I'll be frazzled from the end of the school year. LOL

If you want to do it, you will make it happen. All good things come to those who wait. The time will fly by and before you know it your surgery date will be here.

I'm scheduled for June 11th so I'm a week ahead of you. I'm nervous but excited. I'm glad to have another person on the same journey as me.

Maygoddess and others, I'm really glad I stumbled upon this thread. I had the lap band done in 2010 and it was a disaster. I did lose about 40 pounds and got down to 204 but then I started to throw up. I puked several times a day. I always had excess mucus and it would basically keep food from going down. It was terrible. I finally had my surgeon let out the band and I finally stopped throwing up, but I also gained all my weight back and then some. I'm scheduled to have a sleeve done on June 11, 2018, and I'm nervous but excited. I mostly nervous about what to do and not wanting to mess this up. I'm glad I'm not alone with the lap band failure. They don't even do those anymore where I live. I should have gotten the sleeve back then but I was too afraid. Stupid on my part. I want to lose weight, be able to go shopping with my daughter and be able to have fun with my kids. I can't wait for this journey to start! Please keep posting your updates. I'd love to know what kinds of liquids you used right after surgery.

Why are you doing the revision? Is it due to reflux or weight loss issues? I currently have the lap band in place and will have that stupid thing removed, but my doctor said I could do either one. I'm perplexed so I'm glad for this thread.

I'm glad you asked this question because I was wondering about my machine as well. Beta98, what kind of machine do you have? I'm interested in this auto cpap thing? However, with weight loss won't we be able to get rid of the machine? Does anyone know?
