Band to sleeve revision scheduled

I'm hoping to revise from the band to sleeve in Febuary also.    My appointment with the surgeon is Feb 2nd.   I'm a self pay, so I'm taking the first date he has available!  
Good luck to you!
Amy

Awesome Amy. Keep us posted. I hope he can get you in this month!!

Congratulations!  Having my band out after almost 3 years of throwing up was the best thing that ever happened to me.  I'm almost a year out from my sleeve revision and I couldn't be happier.  I'm wearing a size 2/4, almost 30 pounds below goal and I swear I NEVER thought I could be this thin!

My restriction is the same now as it was at about 5 months out, which is when I hit my original goal, although junk food goes down easily...stay away from it as long as you can! 

Good luck, you will do great!

Michelle that is so awesome. I am happy for you and I cannot wait to be in your shoes. My Dr told me a good goal would be 175 but I seriously think I can beat that. I'm 5'8 and I think I'm going to surprise myself. At the least I want to be in the "normal" BMI category.

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm getting excited!

you will not BELIEVE the difference.

my husband thinks i should now start gaining because i lost what i needed so fast.
and it keeps coming off.  

very excited for you!

My OR date is 2/6!  Can't wait to get this thing out. 

The head hunger on the preop diet is making me crazy!!!! How are you doing?

I am doing ok, kind of "over" the head hunger I guess, I don't know if that makes sense. I have just accepted the fact that I won't be eating any food for several weeks and it's ok.  I have lost 12 lbs and then gained 1.5 and I'm annoyed at that because I am eating NOTHING bu****er, broth and protein shakes. WTF?  I know, my body is probably just playing catch up but still it's kind of maddening to gain weight on a starvation diet. LOL

 That is frustrating!  I know I'm NOT hungry, but I want something to eat.  I think after surgery, I will be better. It's not too bad right now. I've been trying to keep myself busy.

Yeah. I actually AM physically hungry. I just had my pre op education class and learned I will be on clear liquids for 4 weeks after surgery and not even protein until day 8 post op. Never thought I would miss my protein shakes but I think I'm going to. Holy **** At least I hopefully won't be hungry. LOL
