skinnyminnieme 3 Posted September 18, 2013 I have masshealth and Medicare and had the lapband back in 2007. In October of last year my band slipped and has a hole in it so it wouldn't stay filled. Now that I've decided to get a sleeve I went to a different doctor and the doctor told me that because the band slipped and has a leak, that I don't have to wait. My next nutritionist appointment is on the 30th and she and my doctor will talk( depending on how much weight I loose) and they will tell me when I can have my surgery!!! Too excited that I don't have to wait. 3 SuzyB, slimagainsoon and meamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
