band removed BUT no sleeve -- BUMMER

[dbernier01 0]

I had my band removed yeserday -- doc gave me 30% chance he could do the sleeve. He said if their were an adhesions, etc he would not do it -- to risky given the top staple line is right where the band is removed.

Well I woke up with no sleeve ---- I am so sad.......:thumbup1:

I will call his office this week and book the sleeve for 9-12 weeks out......

I can imagine the feeling but if your surgeon decided not to at the moemnt,that it is probably for the best, you'll be sleeved in no time, good luck to you!

That sucks is it a possibility later down the road?

That is a shame for you, but at least you can have it done soon. It is better to be safe and wait Hope it goes quickly for you xx

Just remember even though you did not get your sleeve when your band was removed, it is still in your future. Keep your spirits, up it will happen before you know it.

I agree with everyone here, you'll have your sleeve before you know. . .let you tummy heal and then get it done. . . doctor knows best. . . good luck!
