Former Lap-Band, Current Sleeve..



Recommended Posts

4 years ago I was desperate for a change. I went to my doctor to discuss The Lap-Band surgery. I got the surgery in January of 2010 and weighed 340 lbs at the time of the surgery. I lost over 100 lbs on the Lap-Band within one years time.I managed to keep the weight off for a while then it slowly crept back on.

I was finally at a point where the band began to give more so many problems and I had to have it removed. By the time I had it removed I already had gained 60-65 lbs back. When I had it removed I knew that I had to go ahead and inquire about the sleeve because I felt all of my same bad habits falling back into place.. Overeating, always hungry, eating bad foods, drinking when I eat.. etc....

Now, I got the sleeve done This past Thursday, June 19th and have so many mixed emotions about it already. I feel sadness, anger towards myself, and disappointment... Im not sure why I feel all of these things. I just pray that my life can get back to normal asap..

I feel so tired and drained all day long....

I think a therapist may be able to help you sort all this out. Please do your best to get as much Water and Protein in as possible.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
