I want to know as well ms ruby do you feel hungry I feel so hungry all the time and I greatly hope that the sleeve reduces the hunger I have learned that I'm a emotional eater and have changed my ways but food is comfort for me it's always there never judges you and never has mean comments and my family the eat lol we have big dinners but I have learned to work around it it's hard but I'm doing it I just pray this will be the last surgery and I will succeed I truely believe the band fell me every time I get a fill I would end up in the hospital 2 days latter from dehydration fluid coming out my nose or too loose never hit a sweet spot I stay nauseated all the time days I can eat a few bites then there's time ican eat a whole pizza with thick bread ?? Omg I just want off the merry go round band wagon and I wish all who has the band all my prayers and keep going for me it was a wrong personal choice there are a lot of people who have been successful and I at one time was one of them and now five years out gaing all weight back and part is my fault by putting the food in my hand I'm not in denial at all it is strange how the band and my body worked one minute too tight after fill then it would do a flip side a week latter and act like it was never filled and the crazy thing I was checked for leaks none I just want to succeed and stop feeling like a failure

Hello
I have appt on the 26 of sep and I really want To do this I'm self pay cash up front and I'm wondering how many hoops I will haft to jump or how much weight he wants off of me I'm currently 251 can barley walk due to hip impigments Im just wanting to know what to expect on this first vist and what requirements and how long do you think it would be before he would operate he said he would do the revision at the same time being sleeved let me ask you where you more sore since you had the revision and sleeve done at the same time ? And do you still feel the tightness or food getting stuck feeling with the sleeve and is it truly different or kinda like the band ? And have you really seen some weight comeing down vs the lap band some and all people are different for me the lapband has been a nightmare all my blessings and prayers to all banders and no offense to any I hope the weight will come off faster with the sleeve vs the band for my health I want to walk with out pain and being able to not panic in a resteraunt that I want fit in a booth and make my family wait in line or a avablie table when booth is ready I just need somebody that understands about having the lapband and jumping to a sleeve I need to know if your happy and any and all help on food to meds any thing will help I feel in my heart this is right I' don't think i need the bypass hopefully this sleeve will work what do you think and what made you decide on the sleeve vs the bypass


Thank you god bless you
