Maybe ready for a revision....maybe...

Im considering the sleeve after I had my lapband removed 7months ago. I had a bad experience with the band even though I lost over 100 lbs it was making me very sick, apparently if you have a family history of autoimmune diseases you should never get the band. I have lupus and mild chrons now and have gained back a lot of weight due to having to take steroids. I am hoping the sleeve will be an option for me. My surgeon says he would fight my insurance for it when I was ready. I have a lot of anxiety taking that leap again, those of you who had the sleeve as a revision how do you get over the fear???

you have the least risk if you go to a great doctor in a center of excellence  , they can deal with high blood pressure if the know about it , and if its to high the will not do the surgery, your young and not that overweight , the surgery should be fine

I had my band removed 9/4.  I started fighting in July to get the sleeve.  If your surgeon says he would fight the insurance for you to get it, he must already believe you to be a good candidate.  I understand about the anxiety taking that leap again.  But, they band failed you or your body.  Your body isn't going to reject the sleeve as it is just less of you.

do it!  I love my Sleeve!  It's so easy!  I tolerate everything, I can finally eat solid protein without sliming or that stuck feeling.  My daugther is so used to me getting stuck that she still watches me when I eat - she said, It's so nice now to see me not vomiting with every meal!  Sliming sucked!

My lapband was wonderful for 4 years, it went back 6 months ago and I revised 8 weeks ago.

I am very happy with my decision!
