cute1 9 Posted May 6, 2015 Congratulations! Which procedure are you having? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dibaby44 63 Posted May 6, 2015 Thank you cute1. I am having a revision from the lapband to the bypass. I have had way to many issues with the band for the 13 years i have had it. My reflux is the worst part. I think i had an easier time getting approved because it is deemed necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dibaby44 63 Posted May 6, 2015 Relieved, excited, nervous and a little overwelmed with thinking all the things i gotta get lined up before surgery. Like getting someone to mow the lawn for a few weeks. Things like that. I have a friend at work that had his at least 6 years ago and he is doing great kept most the weight off. Its great to have inspiration and sites like this for support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cute1 9 Posted May 14, 2015 I had a sleeve a year ago, had no weight loss. The sleeve was too large or stretched. I have gained about 40 pounds since my band was removed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
