Carrie's Journey 130 Posted September 23, 2012 that is still awesome!!!! did you have to have special diet before? i am 166 now but want to go from band to vs to reach 140. Just 2 days pre-op of liquids. My goal is 130-140 but I still can't see that happening. I have never been that small. I've been in my second stall and just want to see the scale moving again!

CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted September 24, 2012 I know you didn't ask this question - but you might want to read up on the risk of complications for a conversion from band to sleeve. Leaks and excessive bleeding are the two main ones and if you are unlucky enough to experience either of them - it will negatively impact your life for months. If you are not having any problems with the band, it is just something to think about if it is worth the risk. Having said that, I converted from band to sleeve (my BMI was over 50!) and had no complications. It is an individual decision if the risk is worth it. 1 Goodgonebad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
