💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 You did all the right things, took all precautions and actions you should have. BRAVO!🎇🎇🎇 Sometimes people don't take symptoms seriously or act too slowly. You did not. Since your Surgeon and ER docs ruled things out and gave you a plan they believe, so try to follow it. It is likely still swelling from major surgery. Conversion from a band can be tricky I have read because of the levels of erosion and scar tissue that may be present. Your healing may be slow but you seem to have a team that cares and that can make a difference in how you feel about your progress month to month. Congrats on a successful surgery. Get well soon. Stay in touch with your team and try new foods on their schedule for you. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Thanks xxx Managed 2 hours sleep before the coughing started, but on the mega brightside I had already drunk 750mls by 5.30am Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

it's more lower belly, a bit under my bellybutton. I did call the nurses and see what they will tell me

I had band to sleeve on 2/11/19. It will get better! I walked in circles around my leaving room to relieve gas pressure in my upper abdomen & chest. It really works! I also found relief by laying on my tummy. I use an albuterol inhaler to open up my air passages & used my spirometer daily for 3 weeks. I am no doctor but I know from experience that anxiety itself can make you feel like you can't breath! Take solace in knowing you did the right thing to experience a healthier YOU. We are here for you!

Be patient with yourself ,for nothing in nature blooms all year. But to the best of your ability, be a sunflower, on even the darkest days you will stand tall and reach for the sun. And and new defination for FAIL.....FIRST ATTEMPT but I'M LEARNING.... rather softens the pain, doesn't it? And no matter the speed or slowness of this weight loss journey, we will all end up winners.

I think it'll get better for you. Your body's just been through a lot and it takes a while to transition. Hang in there.

Hi there! I’m just shy of 2 weeks post op from my RNY and I haven’t yet hit my target for liquid consumption. So I would say it’s totally normal as you heal that you find yourself full from meds. It’s only been within the last couple of days that I’ve been able to consume closer to 60 ounces of liquid.

De-Nile..:ain’t just a river in Egypt!! 😄🤣

There is all of the fluids they put into your iv. You will see that weight come down over the next several days

Mine is April 1. I chose the date...to have a good laugh
