On my way to Revision
Revision on 02/21/12
Hi all! I am new to this whole section! I was originally here to find out who else was struggling with their LapBand and discovered others that had the band removed and the sleeve completed.
I am going in September for my consultation with the Surgeon (Dr Garneau) in Montreal and am SO excited!!
Now if only I can figure out how to get a darn profile pic up, I'd be realllly happy!

I feel your pain. The band was the worst mistake of my life. Since I have the sleeve tummy (but with the extra DS part) I can tell you your eating life will be much better after you get that band off.
I love how I can eat now. (no slime, golfballs, slips,etc) It is heaven.

Thanks for the support Poodles! I am so excited to have it completed. I jumped too quickly into the band. I realize that it works for some but it definitely has not worked with me...the slippage has been brutal...
