cynthia59 0 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm having a revision done from a lap band slip to the sleeve. I hope this will go smoother . Since I,ve had the lap band before. But this is soo much more serious. I feel I won,t take care of myself as close as I should. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cynthia59 0 Posted February 23, 2015 I can't seem to get on the right diet to lose weight ahead of time. Before I meet with my Dr. I am trying to get a head start, but I keep slipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christylynn72 6 Posted February 23, 2015 I had the band also. I had it removed last July. It had slipped when i was going through infertility hormones treatment. They pulled out all Fluid but it still slipped. I am starting a 1200 cal diet for pre surgery tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cynthia59 0 Posted February 25, 2015 I hope when I meet with my Dr. He'll tell me my surgery will be easier and less recovery time, since I had the lap band before. Any one gone thru this conversion yet? Thank u Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christylynn72 6 Posted February 25, 2015 My doctor says the recovery is a little longer than the band. I had my band removed and scar tissue removed last July. My doctor likes to wait atleast 3 months after the band is removed to do the conversion. I was planning on last December to have the sleeve but we had to change insurance at work through process and now having it in March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
