Hi all, I have a Lap Band and am going to have a revision to the Sleeve done in 5 days with Dr. Kelly. A lot of different emotions going on, excited, anxious, nervous, etc.. I would love to hear from anyone that's done the revision.

ohhh good luck!!! i too am having a band to sleeve on 6/5 so i can completely understand the mix of emotions i finally got to the point today where i stopped took a deep breath and closed my eyes and just focused on the best of the best i told myself i was going to have an amazing speedy recovery with no nausea or complications. i told myself that i was going to do the work that i needed to do to get the weight off and be healthy again, then i imagined myself in all of the cute clothes i was going to be able to wear and not have to buy a size up to hide my tummy and thighs. all in all it was a great meditation! i wish you much joy and i wish you the very things i just spoke of!

I just had my revision on the 22nd. So far, so good. My pain has been well under control, and I feel pretty decent overall.

Thank you all for the well wishes. Judging from what I've read I'm sure it's going to be a great experience. The Dr Kelly I refer to is the one from Mexico. I'm self payiing since my insurance won't cover it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
