OMG Jean! I came over to the band forum just to check on some of my old chums. You were the first one I saw, so clicked in to see what was happening.
Now you can come on over to the Sleeve forum. We actually have a Maintenance group that you are welcome to join. The main sleeve forum is pretty much for newbies, but the rules aren't much different than with the band surgery, so you could flip between the two for extra support.
I'm so happy for you to have this opportunity. And, I'm still with you on the band. It works. Not for everyone, but it works. I have 2 friends who have it and are very successful.
I've gone from 306 (size 28/30 to 141 (size 8/10). I exercise daily and have done things that I never thought possible for this old woman.
I LOVE My "Sleevie Wonder". You will too.

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
Ticker includes Pre-op weight loss 24 lb.
