Mrz.LaWSOn 9 Posted September 14, 2012 I'm getting my revision done the 1st week of October. I have confidence that I will lose, but once I'm at goal I'm scared I will regain and the whole thing will be pointless....this thought just keeps entering my mind and I can't shake it. I don't want to be a failure again like I was with my band... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyLynn 30 Posted September 14, 2012 I have not had this done, but from what I have read about the band, you did not fail at it, rather it failed you. I know people who have the band, and they can eat alot, to include sodas, I can only fit 1/8 to 1/3 cups of food in my belly. Good luck at the revision! 2 DanaInNewOrleans and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindaS 316 Posted September 14, 2012 I was sleeved over a year ago. I lost 73 pounds and then hit a stall that lasted several months. I exercise and eat right, but I could do better getting my Water in. When I was on vacation in August, I was very active and ate right. I ended up gaining 6 pounds (water weight). My ankle was swelling, and I was bloated. Two weeks later, I've lost the 6 pounds and am finally down even more (another 2.6 pounds). The bloating incident got me back on the path to drinking my Water like I am supposed to be drinking it. I can't eat like I did before, so I don't see how I can get back to my starting weight. It would be hard to do and painful. As long as I eat my Protein first, I have trouble eating anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleeveconvert 55 Posted September 14, 2012 By getting a sleeve, following the. Rules-- you are putting yourself in line for success !! To regain you would have to stretch, abuse your sleeve and WORK at it ! The sleeve like the band is a tool to enable you to stay on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
