| Hi Zanesmum
Congratulations on your date for surgery :)
I know my Dr told me that they are taking out more bands then putting in these days due to complications. Sleeve is MUCH better. Have you joined the May monthy list yet? | |

| Hi Zanesmum! Welcome. Have you had a look at the 'From band to sleeve' sub forum? There's some great advice in there for people in your position. Hope it all goes well for you :) | |

| Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself :
Im due to be sleeved on the 20th May, by Dr France in Adelaide. I had my lapband removed in November after nearly 7 years. The band worked fine in the beginning, I lost about 35 kilos, but started to suffer severe reflux, then once i had the band deflated to sort that out i could never get good restriction, i could either eat everything or not even get water down depending on the day. This went on for a couple of years while the reflux returned time and time again...... and I have regained nearly all the weight :(
When Dr France removed my lapband (he was not the doctor that put it in), he found that my stomach had slipped up through the band and was a lopsided mess...... so im waiting for 6 months for it to hopefully heal and be in good shape for the sleeve in may.
Ive been lurking on the forum for months and have learnt so much already. Thought it was time to introduce myself :)
Wishing everyone luck and health in their sleeve journey. | |
