Band Slipped to Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello, I decided to share with others my journey and hoping for support back. I decided to have revision to sleeve after my lapband slipped after running a marathon last year. I was in the worst pain and was vomiting every 15 minutes. As a result I caught a taxi to hospital because I was out of town. I was in hospital for 2 days with tube down nose. Having revision to sleeve in December. Weight has stayed the same.

I had band to sleeve revision in May. Complications had just started with my esophagus caused by the lapband. Thus far, revision is the best decision I have made. The only downfall for me now is that weight loss has been extremely slow for me with the sleeve. I thought it would be quicker, however, with the lapband my weight loss had stalled the last year that I had it. I'm perfectly ok with this. The benefits with sleeve are far better. No regrets here. jake

Thanks Jake for feedback. I will just be happy to be under 200 lbs. I feel better and tired of getting fills. I probably paid for sleeve all the times I have gone to doctors. Good luck with your goal weight.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
