NewChiGirl 84 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) So frustrated. I'm on month 5 of my 6 month WL program for conversion from lap band go either sleeve or Rny. My doctor has a new nurse and she drops a bomb on me this morning that I have to lose about 30lbs before surgery or he won't do it, which is potentially mid March. What??? This is the first mention of this in the entire 5 months. If I could 15lbs a month with the band I wouldn't be here. I am the most compliant patient ever and do everything they tell me to a T. I've made diet and exercise changes that the NUT asked me to and my weight is still basically up and down the same 5lbs. I don't even know what to do... ETA: My band is still so tight most days that I vomit and cannot get concrete food down. I have 1.5 in my band. This current surgeon is not the one who originally placed my band.

shedo82773 1,236 Posted January 21, 2017 I would speak to your Surgeon. It might not be that amount of weight. I would just put it to him in the way you feel. Good Luck Keep us posted. Most of all don't fret, that won't help at all. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
