| Felice, I would highly recommend that you pop into the sleevers forum as theyre are a few that have converted from a band to a sleeve. www.gastricsleevesupport. com I have a BPD and not a sleeve but the stomach part is similar. I have no issues at all with reflux and I suffered terribly with it before. I can eat or drink immediately before going to bed. Hmmm lets see, I can eat spicy foods again..yay. Raw veg and fruits are great now and I can eat meat, like steak and roast and I can eat out without a fuss or have a 6 inch sub at subway...I can drink with meals. Gawd the difference is huge, I of course have the intestinal bypass which is not for the faint hearted, but hey i'm enjoying the results. If you want to ask me anything just drop me an email or catch me on facebook. More than happy to help if I can. Jen |

| Felice email sent :) K I know close to nobody who is happy with their second band. I know a lot of people very happy who have gone from a band to a sleeve. when the band works it works well but you can not live a life of reflux or a permant diet that doesnt allow you to eat fresh fruit veg any way you like and meat wihtout cooking eating rituals. It is all good for those who manage to get to goal and be able to do it all without the reflux or the restricted diet, but it is tough on those that end up fighting the whole way then find they gain when they finally remove some fill to get rid of the reflux or eat the healthy stuff they want. I can not stress enough I think the band is awsome when it works, it just doesnt work for everybody and long term I am seeing more and more even with no problem for years now with problems. applesauce |

| Hi Marion :-) I remember you mentioning to me that you were going through this process.....I should have paid more attention!!!! If I dont get on the internet before your op - best of luck :-) |

| Hi Felice, i'm having my band removed next week and I'll have the sleeve in January. My surgeon is Dr Alan Thomas at Murdoch St John of God. Marion |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Apple if you are on here would you mind emailing me re you experience with Dr Epari (did I spell that right) - he is the chap who did my scope today and recommended a sleeve..... Cheers Felice ftuit@iinet.net.au |

| This is really interesting. I got to a year with little problems and then it took 6 months to diagnose the enlarged oesophegus. Apparently, there are a lot of 'slippages' being diagnosed that are actually enlarged oesophegus (cos if the band slips down it looks the same on xray) Anyhooooo - I was told that treatment is to remove and wait a few months before re-banding - but I am looking at a few people who are getting sleeves instead to see how they go.

| Morning all, did anyone see the program on channel 7 about obesity and weight loss. It was so interesting. Like the lady who did a food diary and wrote 1100 calories a day, and when tested she actually had 3000 a day. It was really thought provoking, like how honest are we about what we put in our mouths, I for one tend to turn a blind eye to some things that go in my mouth. Oh the truth hurts lol. have a great day all. xxx |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hi all, Those who may be free for Melbourne Cup lunch this year - we are going to Nicholsons in Canning Vale and it is only $39 a head - so please put your name on the list on the Perth Get Together thread as we need to book. Thanks K |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jen, You are so right. It is an ongoing journey. I am going to give it a few more days. Cheers Brian |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It's an ongoing journey isn't it Brian. Now that I am eating better or more real food, i don't crave the sweets or sugary drinks so much, i hadn't realised they were a compensation for what i was not eating. And with less fill I have to use my brain more for eating more healthily. I will I will I will. lol. Don't suffer too long Brian. I was like that for 4 months, think oh yeah, i'll lose this way, but it's counter productive, you need to enjoy your life as well. have a good one, Jenx |
