Hi Sugar whats your story r u getting sleeve from band revision too..   I am  scheduled for March 1st. Just waiting for approval.  scheduled my pre testing clearance and my visit with the dietician.  both are the week before surgery.  i dont have to do liquid diet for 2 weeks....sooooo  im eating everything because my band is not filled ...they will be removing it and doing sleeve at the same time.  how are you doing while waiting for your date... i brought a couple of books from amazon straight to my kindel so i can read one of the books is advertised on this site.

Do they always empty the band before surgery?

im not sure mine is unfilled because of my acid reflux heartburn issue  so he actually unfilled it since January 11 when i went for my revision consult i figured too if he unloosen it i would have to take my nexium and tums at such a tremendous amount like i had been and gues what i dont..  i may take them now like every 3 days which means its healing up whatever it is which is good by the time i wnet to get my barium swallow and upper GI everything looked good and thats why he is going to do both at one time.  i just came back from getting my blod work and chest xray (part of pre-op) all i have left is my nutrition appt on the 22 and a visit with my pcp for clearance and that is on the 24th ..  YEAHHHHH. 

 

Why did you ask about unfilling the sleeve is yours filled.
