Thanks so much! Tina, hang in there! I know it sucks, trust me I was the same way. Sometimes I forgot I even had the lap band! and if your too tight, you end up throwin up, thats how I lost most of my weight. Until my mom told me enough is enough and that I have to eat! Once I got a slight unfill, it was all over! lol man you dont have to worry about that with the sleeve. Everyday is the same! you eat in small portions and your satisfied. All types of food goes down now. This is the only thing that works for me I hope you get a revision if thats what you want. Goodluck

Is anyone on birth control? If so are u dealing with weight gain? I was on the pill for a month n quickly got off cuz I felt bloated then my legs started to hurt I panicked n thought I would get a blood clot...I'm gonna speak to my doctor tomorrow though..just wondering do all birth control make u bloated?

Lol well glad ur feeling better!

Thanks so much for all of ur responses! I'm gonna see my doc tomorrow so I'm gonna look into a few options..u ladies be safe! Kristina sorry to hear bout ur blood clot...Hope ur feeling well

I felt like that in the beginning, but once the weight started melting off my body and I got healthier and sexier, omg I do not miss food lol I still have my bad cheat days, but overall, so thanful for the sleeve..Im sure u wont be sad a year out!

thanks guys

Only regret was when I woke up and was in pain I was like ohhh myyy gosh what did I do?! Lol but that lasted for like 5 min (same reaction when I had the lapband)...it will prob happen to most lol just cause your thinking holy crap will I really be able to eat again??? What if something went wrong and I don't know it yet lol But overall I have no complaints at all! I'm 35 pounds away from my goal! And with time, ur stomach stretches out a lil bit so u can actually eat more...right now I'm 8 months post op and I loveeeeeeeeeeee where I'm at! I feel soo normal it's not even funny, there is nothing I cannot eat! Plus I still feel full after a good sized portion....my revision from the band to the sleeve is the best thing that I did for myself

Just wanted to share my weight loss video for those who are interested and or about to be sleeved! I had failed with the lapband but I was not going to fail with the sleeve...I have 30 more pounds to lose until I reach goal...Goodluck to u all and I hope this motivates u...the link is below *Sorry meant to say 7 months postop* Check out this video on YouTube:

Thats awsome congrats! I remember getting off my blood pressure meds, best feeling ever...even better feeling when you go to the doc office and when they check your blood pressure its soooo normal! When I was obese, I use to have to run to the Emergency Room cuz my blood pressure was wayyy too high and I was always sick, felt like I was gonna die. So Im forever blessed when I hear my blood pressure is below normal now
