Getting Sleeved Tomorrow!

[Byebyeband 8]

Hello all. I am new to this site, but was very vocal in my beginning stages with the band on lapbandtalk. I am having my surgery tomorrow morning by Dr. Zane at the Kaiser Harbor City medical office. I am both nervous and excited about starting my new journey. Who else has had their band removed and sleeved the same day. Anyone NOT have a pre op diet. All responses would be greatly appreciated!!

Im not having mine removed on the same day but i had my band removed in aug and then im getting sleeved in dec! How long had you been banded for?

I've been banded for about 2 1/2 years. I am fortunate to have it all done in one surgery, granted there isn't too much scar tissue/ *fingers crossed*

I had revision. Band removed and sleeve done on the same day. I'd had the lapband for slightly over 2 years. I asked the doctor if I had alot of scar tissue. She said no. I did have a two week pre-op diet.

Let us know how you're doing.

Thank you so much for the responses and positive vibes, I only had to do liquids 2 days before, and am also praying that there isn't a lot of scar tissue and that everything runs smoothly.
