Ann777 16 Posted May 25, 2020 I've really enjoyed reading everyone's posts. After 10 years of the 'Band', I've decided that I must move on! Started with highest weight pre-band at 236, lost 70 pounds and things were great. Somewhere along the way, I was too tight (constant vomiting) or too loose (ate everything). Could never get back to the green zone. I gained all the weight back plus 4 pounds! So, tomorrow I am officially separating from the band and entering a new relationship with the sleeve. Please, supporters, wish me the best and hopefully my nervous jitters will calm down. 2 2 1 colormehappy, Nacol, Arabesque and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ann777 16 Posted May 28, 2020 Hello! I'm officially in the revision family! Everything went well and I arrived home earlier today. Your posts helped so much because from the time I was out of recovery, I walked every hallway that I could every 3 hours. It really helped with the pain and gas. Well, I'm seven pounds heavier than when I went in but...has to be Fluid from the IV ' I only drank 30ml at a time! Just following up. 2 Nacol and Sticky1984 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
