The sruggle is real with the lapband. I am glad you got your conversion appeal and the "hormones" is a fight which is the issue with me and weightloss, I been unfilled since 2016 and cannot do a revision.
My surgeon did mine the same day... ..but I knew that if he saw any scar tissue that he'd close me up and make me wait. So glad she is coming out sooner though. I'm here if you ever need to chat. Hugs!!
Honestly, all of us lapbanders are getting converted one way or another these days. Since I wasn’t filled for so long, there was not too much scar tissue luckily. Good luck with everything. I’ve only been converted for a week and it is already like night and day. I would hope that anyone who has ever had a weight issue in the past would never say someone as simple as “just stop eating”.... we ALL know there is way more to everyone’s story than that. There is nothing wrong with needing help, or admitting that the band isn’t working for you anymore.
well I'm very excited for you! been hoping for this for like 2 years now. heh. If you wanna talk life on the sleeve year by year ... hit me up! you still have to make certain food choices later out but I think in the year after surgery ... things will be a lot easier and you'll lose a bunch of fat without that hungery (I still have to force myself to eat or I dont get enough with my exercise regeme!)
