POST OP-MAY 2018 Lap Band to Sleeve Friends



Recommended Posts

Hello!

Looking for POST op lap band to sleeve support. I was sleeved in May of 2018 and my surgeon advised that weight loss will be slow because of prior lap band surgery. She was right! My starting weight day of sleeve was 222lbs and 8 months later at 185 lbs (total 35 lbs down)

Im also very embarrassed to admit that my eating habits are bad with very poor choices which I'm sure has contributed to the slow weight loss.

Looking for some new friends who understand and can help motivate and encourage each other.

I'm READY to reset and start over again NOW! LETS DO THIS ;)

Hi,
My conversion surgery was Feburary 19, 2018. I have lost 55 lbs and is happy with my slow weight lost. My diet is ok most of the time. My problem is not drinking Water. I want to try to lose a total of 100 lbs by my anniversary date.

Are you a conversion? Try to quickly fix these habits before surgery. My food plan was so good and disciplined before and a few months after surgery. It's only till I felt comfortable around food that I started to slack. It's very easy to fall off the wagon and lots of support during this process is surely needed.

Hey! Did you have you band removed before your sleeve or all at the same time? I had my band out in dec 2017 and am thinking about the sleeve. My stomach wasn’t healthy enough to do at the same time. Good luck to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
