caseman301 2 Posted May 16, 2013 I will be getting my sleeve on the 4th if June. This will be my second weight loss surgery. I had a lapband about 4 years ago and it worked wonderful. I lost 145 lbs. Only 10 lbs. from my goal weight of 240. But the band slipped and during the revision surgery the hepatic vein was nicked causing me to nearly bleed out on the operating table. But due to the skill of the surgeon and his team I survived. It has taken me a long time mentally to do this again but here I am. Hopefully I will again regain my life and be able to live and love to the fullest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
