I'm just wondering if they removed your band and did the sleeve in the same surgery. my band has been removed for 3 1/2 years so I've had nothing all this time.

did the dr warn you that you were a higher risk? i guess i just got scared because i read a terrible story of someone who ended up with leaks and in ICU etc etc and almost died. i don't want to risk my life to be thin, but i so want to be a normal weight and i know this would help me so much control the amnt of food i eat. i know I'm still in the early stages and all these are normal thoughts i guess. i just don't want to push my luck. part of me says i should learn from my bad experience with the band and be thankful it was removed with a problem and learn to do it on my own. the other part of me says its so hard and i tried and i need help!! i guess in time the answers will come. thanks everyone for your input, it does help!

how was the leak fixed? can you explain more details. thats my fear too because i used to have a band

Really? You had no scar tissue? Thats good to hear. The dr i saw didnt see insde me of course, he just said he KNOWS id be a mess insde! Hmm?.... I also heard they cant tell until they operate too.

Really your dr didnt seem concerned? I cant wait to discuss thins with a different dr to hear his input.

Kimmr, please post an update on how you are doing? We would love to hear!

Just wondering if any of your drs claimed the risk was higher for leaks?
