Hello Pals, Its been a while since I have been on here. I had the lapband which was removed in 2016. Slowly over the two years and sadly I gained 25 lbs. I am scheduled for Sleeve on 1/23/19. Just reaching out to see what everyone's experience has been if you converted from lap band to sleeve. I wasn't worried at all with lapband but I am a little with this surgery

Thank you both for the feedback and your wonderful stories. I have to admit I am a little scared of going through all this again. However, my desire to be thinner is greater. Congrats on your continued success

HI I just posted today. I am getting my sleeve in two weeks. Have been off the band for two years. How are you doing?

I need your help. There is so much discussion about chewing your food completely (which I understand) but waiting between bites. My NUT says I need to wait 10 minutes between bites and my support group confirms that as well. I cannot sit in anyone one place long enough to finish all my food. If I eat a bit every 10 min then I may only get two or three total bites. Is this reality, do I need to accept this or is there a more reasonable solution?
