Thank you all for responding sorry it has taken a while. I was supposed to go talk to my surgeon a second time on my decision but I postponed it because I am not ready and haven't made any type of decision on to hold off or get the sleeve/Rny. I hate the thought of having a second surgery due to the unknown being 20 years old but I guess that did not stop me the first time at 15 years old. I thank you all for your advice and will keep you updated. I did not follow the lap band to the best that I should of that maybe because of being 15 years old or bouncing around places moving and not keeping up with the same surgeon. The pain is not regular but some times frustrating when eating but it seems the band is just there. Thank you again hopefully I will figure something out.

People, I thought we were here to support one another. We are all human and have made

mistakes. but to blame one another for a slipped band is like closing the gate after

the horse has already escaped. It may be our fault for a failed band, but we need to be a little more understanding. I know I need all the support I can get. I feel badly about not losing all the weight that I could have lost and already feel like a

failure due to my own errors and I'm sure others like me may feel the same way :)Much Luv

I chose the band cause I was too scared to be cut into. The risks were lower and the cost was cheaper. Lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
