vwilson 13 Posted December 19, 2012 I am soooo nervous/excited/scared/anxious lol all in one! In 2010 I had a lap band, in 2011 while 20 Wks pregnant my band slipped & I had to have it removed:-( I had to regain all that weight to meet bmi requirements to have the sleeve procedure done. Now I'm just awaiting insurance approval. In a lot of ways I very depressed that I regained all this wait, but I know that the sleeve has got to be a better choice for me. Now why I am scared... I am an ER nurse & it seems there are so many complications with bariatric surgery...ppl I wrk with seem to roll there eyes when a bariatric pt with complications comes in & the thought of something going wrong with me is so nerve racking. Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
