I'm with you 100%! I just want to fast forward!Im 2 weeks out too and have been feeling depressed as well. I'm hoping its a passing feeling but I feel your pain. I just want to fast forward a few weeks or rewind a few weeks and never have gotten the surgery, even though I know it was the right choice. I feel stuck in limbo at this stage.

Thanks for the responses I hope it will get better It just sucks watching everyone else eat and feeling different and alone. I know I will get over it after I can start eating a little more normal. We were on the road this weekend and it was a pain to mix shakes and not just being able to grab something like everyone else. I will be ok it just will take time to adjust.

Hi everyone I just had my lap band taken out and a revision to a sleeve almost 2 weeks ago. I don't know what is going on with me but this only liquid thing has me so depressed. It was a month with the band and for the most part I did fine but this time is totally different. The last few days I just feel like I have made the wrong choice. I have just been watching my son and husband eat and wondering why I chose to do this to myself, I don't feel normal now. I guess this is hitting me so hard because this one is permanent. Has anyone else felt this way and how did you deal with it? Thanks

Thanks I feel so much better now that the drain tubes are out. I should get to go home in the next hour or so.

I am in so much pain today

Thanks everyone. I just woke up enough to get on here. I'm doing ok and just finished my leak test, it went good. The only unplanned thing was she said my gallbladder was awful and took it out too while I was under, which is fine with me just weird bc I haven't had any symptoms of gallbladder problems

Today is my day. I'll be honest last night I almost said just take it out and forget the sleeve. I have done way too much reading on what can go wrong and I just have myself really worked up. I'm going to do it though and just pray for the best. I'm guessing from when I go in my surgery should be around 9:30(Oklahoma time). I will let yall know how it goes. Wish me luck!

My doc said that too. They have to say that so that if you wake up and it was opened you aren't shocked (and you don't sue) lol. You will do great![/quoteThanks! That makes me feel better.

I'm doing my revision the 14th. I'm very nervous also, my dr. Said it might have to be open and it's got me freaked out. Good luck today!
-
My surgery will be the 14th. I'm really excited and scared. It might have to be open
-
I hope that's how it is for me. I have 2 weeks scheduled off but I really don't want to use all of it.
-
Ok thanks I have a desk job also.
-
I had another question how long after a revision were you off work?
-
Mine is going to do both at the same time. I get a date on the 6th for when. Ins. approved both at the same time.
-
Thank you! It's great to hear that! Congratulations!
-
Me too I'm just nervous reading about the people who said the sleeve didn't work and they had no restriction. I hope that won't be our case. I guess when I go in the 6th I need to ask her how small she will be making my stomach.
-
Thanks! Good luck! I have had mine almost 3 years and I couldn't even keep down Water until they unfilled it. So ready for a new start!

Hi everyone I'm fixing to have my band taken out because it has slipped and they are doing the sleeve at the same time. I'm super excited and also super nervous! Any advice would be great I'm just not sure how different the sleeve will be. Is it better or worse? Thanks
I get a surgery date on the 6th

Good idea on the cheese I was trying shredded . The first day was all soft and even mashed potatoes hurt and I wasn't eating much. I might just stay with soft for a while longer. Thanks
