I am one year out and I still have this issue but it because I am anemic. Have some blood work done and see if that is the issue.

I had it all done at once. I developed and infection where they removed the port and ended up in the hospital for 6 nights. Very long journey wit lots of pain, I am just todat starting to feel a bit better. The drain (I ended yo having 2) was the problem. Once the second drain came out I felt normal again. It is not an easy process and I will never take my body for granted again.

Hi! I know how you feel. I was sleeved on the 9th and had a hell of a time and I am still just getting over the hump. I have regrets with not asking for more pain meds. If you are in pain then take them! You should not be in pain! I was crying for 4 days straight before I finally went back and got more meds and the drained removed. Mine was hitting my lung and causing breathing issues. I also could not stand straight and was having severe back pain., Now, I had complications and was in the hospital for 6 days(2 in the ICU) developed and infection where my port from my lap band was removed.

Keep your head up! It was hard but each day the pain does get better. I hope to be able to exercise by next weekend. I have learned that i will never take my body for granted again. The experience that I went through but was not pleasant but I hope the results will end up outweighing the bad.

Hi,

I also had my revision the same day nd just came home from the hospital yesterday. Ended up in the icu and needed a blood transfusion. They keep telling me the pain is going to get better but I am to the point of regret. Are you having pain? I am getting my second drain removed on Friday and i cant wait. I think this is one of the main sources of the most pain. I have had many surgeries but never did I have an experience like this. Please tell me I did the right thing?

^{My doctor will not know if he can remove my band and sleeve me all at one time until he gets inside and checks out what is going on. I was banded in 2006 and have had acid reflux ever since. I am hoping that I wake up sleeved:)}
