Lapband to sleeve dreaming

I really appreciate your honesty about your journey. It's encouraging to hear truthfully about the ups and downs. Good luck as you begin this next chapter of your journey!

Oh man, you have had/are having all of the issues that I had with my band. I was to the point where I could only stomach slider foods, and any time I ate proteins I'd slime and vomit and it was just awful. Like you, my relationship with food was worse when I had the band. I had it out 2 years ago, and it took me a LONG time to get back to semi normal eating habits, though I still have foods that scare me. The first time I had steak I actually cried because I could eat again. (We were both banded in August 2012, I noticed).

I'm trying to get the sleeve now - I still have the same health issues that led me to the band. Bypass is a bit worrisome to me, and my surgeon thinks the sleeve is a good option for me. So... starting all over again as well. Look forward to seeing your progress and journey, good luck to you!

Good luck. I was revised in December and it was the best thing.
