Hello my name is Marisa, I live in Perris Ca, I'm waiting to be approved for revision from lap band to sleeve. My support group is also like an hour away. How's it going with your journey?

[MFoster9812 24]

[dreamer78 7]

Hello Marlie! I don't have a date yet... waiting to be approved or denied. I've been banded for four years with no success I lost about 30 pounds and then regained everything back through out the years. You are doing great with your sleeve..32lb is awesome. I just hope they approve my revision... can't wait to do this. I'm glad you took care of that acid reflux, that is one of my concerns... I have really bad acid reflux and I'm always scared after I eat.

Hey, if you're with Kaiser I had my revision done last May and it's been great. Best of luck on things.

Hi. My name is Debi and I am in San Bernardino. I had my surgery on April 14 2014.

I am also in San Bernardino County. I had the RNY May 5th. I am down 32 pounds. I will be seeing my surgeon next week for another follow up. I am attempting to get into soft foods from puréed but it's going slowly. I have definitely learned to give food items or in my case Vitamins a second chance. I absolutely couldn't stand my Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin after surgery so I took another one. I decided to give it another shot today and took it no problem. Yes!! That also happened with eggs. Great to meet you.

I'm in Temecula, with a tentative surgery date of late October. I have been driving down to SD for all my appointments but would love local people to chat with.
