By mid to end February! So we still have a little time.

Hahahaha Reggie we are doing good! Just getting ready to move to Vegas. Would love for you to visit! He's a trip lol.

Yeah my new dr said the complications after two years are so common now and they don't even do them anymore. She said maybe one a year. She takes our more. It's sad really.

You have to qualify for a revision too so yeah you probably wouldn't. I got in very quickly too. I am happy with the sleeve. It's so different it's crZy. Miss all you ladies!

Ask for an upper GI. I forgot to mention. I had gained all of my weight back plus 6 lbs and found out I was pre diabetic again even eating the right things! I have anthem blue cross now so from the day I met my new dr the end of October to my surgery date of December 17th my band was out. They don't keep it in long after they see its eroded so if it is mo be prepared to decide what you want to do. I would research it all again so you know your options.

Mo-I had no idea that mine had eroded I thought because I gained weight from the baby I was just tight. But I was basically throwing up /PBing everything I would eat even sliders which is the opposite of erosion but at the same time I felt like I was always hungry and and couldn't eat enough. So when I went in and had the upper GI done they saw I had a hiatal hernia which was causing me to throw up and the band had eroded which is what was attributing to be weight gain and intense hunger. So when they offered me the sleeve I took it. I'm so glad I did. 4 weeks post op and I'm down 32 lbs. I spent two years being miserable with the band not being able to eat and always being hungry. It was a losing battle for me. So glad to see all of you on here!

Yeah everyone is at different stages so that's nice to read that others are going through the same thing.

I will take you up on that. I am also part of a facebook support group for all surgeries but im finding there a lot more rny. It's bariatric bad girls club weight loss support group. It's been helpful as well. If you have facebook you should check into it too.

I actually had no idea it was erroded. I just couldn't eat anything without throwing it up. I just chalked it up to the weight gain with the pregnancy. I love the sleeve so far and am only a month out so im still learning my hunger cues and when I'm full. I start my full regular diet this week so it's anything I can tolerate. I also haven't had kaiser. I actually lost it a month after surgery when moved to Washington and was just going to fill centers. When I moved back to CA I got anthem bluecross and have had 2 amazing drs. I also have a hard time with support now that I'm sleeved because I know only my band sisters. I ask my friend who has rny a lot of questions but I'm finding out how different things are between the two surgeries. It would be nice to talk to people who have gone through what I'm beginning to.

Wow I was surprised to get emails that this board was still going!! How are you ladies?? I had my band removed on 12/17/14 because it has erroded and I had a hiatal hernia. I got revised to the sleeve. So far so good. I was off track for so long because I had all of my fluid removed when I got pregnant. I was empty for over two years and when I went to go get some put back in my dr did an upper GI and saw the issues. I was honestly so happy to get the band out!! But yea the brain is the hardest part of this whole thing.
