    Default Gonna need new clothes!

    Hello Everyone!

    Back in the game for the second time.

    I had a lap band done in 2004 and dropped about 60#(from 410 to about 350 at 6'3") and stayed in that range for almost 14 years. The band started causing an erosion issue and had to be removed in Feb of 2017. The weigh came back over the last year and now I'm scheduled for a sleeve on 7/26/18 in Mobile Al. with Dr. Ringold. Unfortunately insurance is not going to help with this so it's a cash pay surgery for me.

    Talk to ya'll soon,
    Doc

    Welcome Doc! Hear that lap band story often! Lots of other band to sleeve conversions. Good luck to you!
