And so it begins....

Hey there all....here is my story...

I am a 45 year old male NYer.

In 2006 I have LapBand surgery, I was 425lbs at the time. The surgery was a success and the LapBand is a great tool, I went down to 300lbs. However, in late 2008 I got very sick and was forced to open the band up. Unfortunately, I can no longer use the band. Through all of my illness and "forced" seclusion I gained a tremendous amount of weight over the past 4 years. As I write this, I am 500 lbs., my BMI is off the charts, so to speak.

Today I began my pre-op diet and am scheduled for VSG Surgery & LapBand removal on Feb. 4th. Very nervous and excited. I have been thru this pre-op diet before, it is a pain in the butt to go thru, but, I know it is doable.

Thanks for allowing me to share....

Good luck. I just had my revision 2 weeks ago. I feel fantastic! I am so glad to have the band out.

Good luck. I'm sure you will be pleased with the sleeve, every revision story I've read say they like it much more than the band.

Thanks folks. I have been about 80% well behaved on the pre-op diet. However, the 20% was high Protein low fat food. Day 4. Not weighing myself, but I already know I am dropping quickly.
