April to Me Means Revision from Band to Sleeve

test.. reply to see if tracker is up to date

Wish you all the success with the sleeve. Keep us updated on your journey :)

I started my journey to be banded in 2008 and was banded 2/09.  I had all the same issues and had my band removed 9/12.  I was sleeved 1/13 and have done great.  I lost over 40/50 pounds more than I did with the band and have gotten within 5 pounds of the third goal I set for myself.  I am 20/30 lower than the goal set by the surgery center as a success.

You should check out all the ex-banders storied on failed band group.  It isn't a very active group but, is full of information and stories from 100's on ex-banders.

Glad you are doing well and thanks for the info about the exbanders group. I will be headed over that way now. 

I just approved you so come on in 

Hi all! I'm moving forward with a sleeve revision. I started a diet this week and have an appt in two weeks to start the pre-op process. I'm nervous, but more than ready to get this band out. :)
