Best of luck with your revision! I know you have worked hard with your Band and you would like to keep it forever! I think it's important, we do what we need to do to be healthy and happy!

Jean, I'm so sorry to hear that you will be losing your band! Best of luck to you with your new tool, the sleeve. I look forward to hearing how it compares to your experience with the band.

oh Jean, I am so glad you got approved. I hope this means that your insurance is going to pay for it.

I hope the sleeve works great for you!!

You are going to ROCK the sleeve!!! Hopefully the esophageal issue will resolve...

Thanks! A follow-up upper GI study a week after my complete unfill showed absolutely no esophageal dilation, so that's a relief. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my motility issues are resolving as well.

I'm not sure my thoughts on everything will help you deal with your fears. The sleeve won't cause a prolapse as you had with your band. What other problems did you have?
