Now I just have to hope that insurance approves it! January 29th can't come soon enough! ETA: I'm being revised from band to sleeve. I'm hoping he can do it all in one surgery, but he warned me that it may have to be done in two parts, depending upon how nasty things are in there (scar tissue and such).

NewBeginnings2018 81 Posted December 28, 2017 January 8th here! Have had my lapband for 10.5 years, but couldn't tolerate a fill since about month 18. Had kept off only 10 pounds from original high weight before starting this process to convert to sleeve. Am nervous and excited at the same time but ready to do this!!

VSGnewguy 164 Posted December 28, 2017 Just finished my upper endoscopy this morning. Found a small hernia but all is was good. Shouldn't be any delays to my surgery on Jan 11th! Excited and nervous. Fyi...if you are nervous, let the anesthesiologist know. They have me versed and that called me right down!

I have to travel for 2 days of the journey so it will be a challenge to say the least. I've been very good this week (and am down 3.5lbs!) knowing next week I will have a rough two days. Cannot believe it's 10 days out!! Eeek! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been doing great with shakes during the day but dinner has been noncompliant the last few days. Can’t wait to go home so I can have some semblance of self control. Can’t believe how quick this is approaching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
