luvladyj 23 Posted August 22, 2013 I went to the required pre-op meetings but I haven't gone to any post op! It's tough with my work schedule. That's awesome! Does she have a date? I agree I've only been to one since surgery. ...not yet she was cleared but I think she is waiting on insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyminnieme 3 Posted September 20, 2013 I'm from Springfield ma. Had the lap band done in 2007 and it slipped and there's a leak so now I'm getting the sleeve. I had doctor Romanelli and Cheryl as well. But now I'm going to mercy hospital, they have a more personalized program. How much weight have you lost? I'm due to have my surgery in October or November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm due to have my surgery in October or November.[/quote'] Since I started the program I've lost pounds. My weightless is just picking up now as I hit the 3 week stall. But I've lost 20 lbs since surgery! I thought about the band but was worried about a slip or other complications. Plus I didn't like the idea of getting stuck with needles to get it filled. I feel like a human pin cushion enough as it is! How much weight have you lost with the lap and before the complications? Good luck with your surgery!

skinnyminnieme 3 Posted September 20, 2013 I lost 50 before the lap band and another 50 after but gained 40 back sence it slipped. Hopping to have surgery to fix it soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
