Bailey Jan 17 Posted June 18, 2016 I am scheduled for August but having serious doubts if I want to get it. I went through the lapband and will be getting it out in July. I cannot imagine a summer of 2 surgeries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarefootDrummer 108 Posted June 19, 2016 StaceyWJ- Do they ever combine the surgeries so you would just have to go in once? I can see your hesitation for two surgeries during the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmyD102 95 Posted June 19, 2016 I am (hopefully) getting my band out and my sleeve in one surgery. The DR says there is a slight chance that the scar tissue might be too severe to do them both in one surgery, if that's the car I'd have to wait 2 months until I get sleeved, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he can do it all at once, I've already had 2 gastric surgeries and really don't want two more!!

Tara1992 79 Posted June 19, 2016 August 22 over here!!! It's not "hitting me" yet. But once I get all my pre op tests done, I think it will feel more real!!!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bailey Jan 17 Posted June 19, 2016 My dr stated that I would need to heal for a few weeks to ensure there is somewhere to staple for the sleeve. He stated in most cases getting them done at the same time will not have the best recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mammy56 2 Posted August 4, 2016 I started my liquid diet 4 days ago. I'm so crabby and tired of desert flavored Protein shakes. Anyone have any ideas about how to make them taste like real food? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
