    Hello, can some of you please provide feed back. I am having revision to sleeve 28 December 2015. I signed up to run a 8k on 19 March. I love to run and cycle. I ran a Christmas 8K today and felt good. I am 5'8, 210 lbs and want to get down to 175 lbs. Will I be able to run in 3 months post operation?

    Hello, I am having revision to sleeve 28 December. I am ready because my lapband slipped last year and stopped working. Also the closer it gets, I am eating more even though I run and cycle. My current weight is 210, I have the working out part down, just need and want to lose weight so I can feel better about myself and be lighter on feet and on bike. Want to look better for a 51 year man. I want to run the New York Marathon next year. Good luck to everybody.

    Just a quick note to all Sleevers and the progress all of you have made and determination. It took me 9 hours to do it, but I did it. Looking forward to being sleeved in December and next year plan to cycle again in 8 hours. Thanks to all for responding back to me and I am proud of all you.

    Travel after surgery

    Cycle4life replied to losing100#'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Hello, you should be fine. Just make sure you make stops along the way to walk and not gas up so much:) I had the lapband and was up and walking and driving after a week. I had cabin fever, just listen to your body. Hoping the best for you and recovery. I am flying to Mexico for my revision and will be there 5 days. Traveling from East to West Coast. I have read for me to get up every 45 minutes to walk.

    I signed up to cycle this Saturday. Last year my lapband sipped while doing a marathon. I am concerned it may slip again but I really want to do this before my revision to sleeve. Any advice or suggestions are welcome, I know I am a newbie on site and do not know a lot of folks but I am asking for some input from anybody who reads this. Thanks

    OKC thanks for replying back and congrats with weight losing. When I get the sleeve, next year I am moving up to try my first triathlon. Need to get off some weight first. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    Hello, I decided to share with others my journey and hoping for support back. I decided to have revision to sleeve after my lapband slipped after running a marathon last year. I was in the worst pain and was vomiting every 15 minutes. As a result I caught a taxi to hospital because I was out of town. I was in hospital for 2 days with tube down nose. Having revision to sleeve in December. Weight has stayed the same.

    Band Slipped to Sleeve

    Cycle4life replied to Cycle4life's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    Thanks Jake for feedback. I will just be happy to be under 200 lbs. I feel better and tired of getting fills. I probably paid for sleeve all the times I have gone to doctors. Good luck with your goal weight.

    December 2015 Sleeve

    Cycle4life replied to Halfagain's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Hello, I am having revision to sleeve. I am slated to have surgury 28 December in Mexico. Good luck to all of us Santa Sleevers:)

    Hello, I am flying to Mexico in December. Will be there 6 days before flying back to Virginia. I was lapbanded there and I was fine flying back home. Praying the revision to sleeve works out in my favor. Good luck. Keep in touch on journey if you like.

    Hello, I also had my lapband slip last year after running a marathon:( I was in the hospital for 2 days miserable with a tube down my throat. I pulled out of this years marathon for fear it would slip again. I decided to have revision to sleeve this coming December and it can not come faster. I went to lapband Doctor and had gained 4 lbs. I thought I gained 40 when the doctor said you gained weight after 6 months check up. I weigh 210 lbs. and I cycle and run and I am frustrated with my weight. I am doing a 100 mile bike ride this month and shutting down hard workouts until after being sleeved. Good for you getting sleeved. I know how you felt with this foreign object inside. I think I may have scar tissue as a result. Wish you the best:)
