Approved - Band out revising to the sleeve!

I just got the call last night that I was approved. I'm having my band out on 11/24. The band hasn't been my friend for probably 5 years but I won't ba**** It has helped keep me from being on the next season of My 600lb Life. I know if I didn't have it, I would be so much bigger than I am. So hopefully all will go well and he can do removal and revision at the same time.

I've got my exercise and weight lifting habits set, have tweaked my eating to healthier alternatives over the last year, I've lost 60lbs so I'm ready to see if the sleeve can get me to goal!!

I am having bad out and sleeve done this Thursday (11/5) wish em luck and keep me posted on your progress!

HI - yes I did have them both done at the same time.  I'm doing so much better.  No sliming, no throwing up...it's heaven!

I can eat small amounts and be satisfied.  I wish I had done this a long time ago!

Hi there -

I did have both done at the same time.  I had surgery Nov 5th. I fee great. I find that I don't seem to have as much restriction as other people so I have to watch what I eat.  It's fantastic to be able to eat whatever I want - it's easier to eat healthy that way.

i lost 30 lbs right off the bat and hen stalled for a bit.  I am now down a total of 45.

Good Luck!

ShShannonkm7,  Great job you lost 45lbs in 2 months are you having regrets? the stall is normal your body is trying to catch up with all the weight it just lost.  Are you near goal what is your goal and expectations.
