new here
I am new here. I had a lap band in 20008 weighing 296 pounds. I got down to 199 for about 1 day and settled at 210 range. 2 years next month I had complications with the band and it had to be removed. I have inched back up to 260. I have completed the mandatory orientation for the sleeve and will have my surgeon visit upcoming. does anyone have any advise?
Welcome! So sorry that you had that experience with the lapband. It's great that you're getting revision to VSG. There are lots of people here who have gone through that experience.
