Hi everyone,

I'm new to the site but i have been reading posts for a while, I got my lap band on may 18 2011 , I lost some weight for while but nor nearly enough what I should of, I lost very little and long story short now I'm having problems eating anything, everything gets stuck and I'm always hungry, always. I'm wondering if anyone who has a had a revision can help me? I want to get the sleeve but I don't know where to start , I was operated by dr Leclerc and he is no longer practicing, I don't know what to do and I can't take this anymore....thanks!

Hi JoAnn,   I didn't get the lapband,  I got the vertical sleeve surgery :)   I did get it done on November 8th  and the recovery has been great!   I had to pay out of pocket but you could pretty much schedule your surgery immediately instead of the 3+ year wait here in Quebec,  I figured the money I spent right now on the surgery would be repaid in 3 years just by the lack of junk food etc,  and I'd get to get the health benefits right now instead of having to wait!    I haven't regretted my decision,  the level of care that I got in Tijuana was as good or better than some of my experiences in Montreal area hospitals :)
