Does anyone have information on the revision surgery my surgery date is 9/18 and want to know what to expect

Marci Just heard from insurance and since I'm having complications they cover the entire thing

Do you have to be a certain weight for band to Be removed and sleeve done. I have had so many Complications and pain in the year I have had this band I am down to 153 but still have 40 to go I want this thing Out but need to continue my journey

Do you still have to be alot over weight I have had so many complications with this Band I just want it out but want to keep on with My journey I am down to 153 list 52 in a year But still have 33 to go

I have pain alot where the port is almost to the point I wanted it out. My dr said he would move it further away from ribs I don't want another surgery

I am on week 4 stomach feeling the same way!!!! My first fill is Monday and I cant wait, I use a 800 to 1000 per day cal diet, I try to eat foods high in protien its keeps me a little full for longer!!!! When I spoke to my Dr he said I will still have hunger pains after the fill. I hope not!! I look for 100 cL snack packs and if it gets real bad I eat those... Good Luck

Yep I also know the feeling!! can not wait until I get the first fill so I can actually feel fullafter eating

Yea I tried to have the fill early but they said no!! They have to let it heal and swelling to go down, I have next appt 5/20 that will be 5 weeks post op I hope they do it then, I said to Dr that I was hungry he did state thats how your going to feel and then said I may feel hungry after the banding

Post op went well lost 15.5 since 4/10 still very hungry but now I can eat some foods so its helping, next appt 5/20 hopefully they weill do a fill!!!

congrads it sounded like the same night I had after surgery on 4/10!! and yea when you take that walk you will start to feel much better, and wish I had thought of the gas strips that was the worst part

I just had band put in on 4/10 going for first post op today, I was a little sore but they give you pain meds for that, you have to walk or the gas pains will kill you!!!! So walk walk walk, I was hungry all weeks because they usually do not fill band during surgery, but I still got full quick and most important stick to post op diet no matter how hungry you feel, its so your band and new stomach can heal!! On my scale I have lost 10 lbs since 4/10 thats only 9 days with an empty band but we will see what dr says I will get back to you...if you want to e-mail me with any ? its bridg29@yahoo.com

On my way to first post op visit will let you all know how it went,

Good luck and its nice to go through this journey with someone!!!

If you didnt get sick by now u should be ok, waatch those solid foods though until your post opI know its been 7 days for me, I had to eat egg whites last night could not take the hunger pain anymore

My post op is Thursday too, let me know how you made out! @ if you didnt gt sick from the chicken by now you should be ok just watch those solid foods

Your not failing because Im hungry too!! 7 days out, I do go to drs on thursday, I dont think they filled band with anything, I forgot to ask before I left hosp, So alot of water, crystal light, and talking to you guys

When did you get the band?

Yep its def not head hunger it feels like something is in there grawling to get out!!! i just sip crysatl light when it happens, I too forgot to ask when I left the hospital, when did you get the band in

I am on day 7 from surgery, started on eggwhites, I feel hungry all the time is this because my band is empty? How many weeks did you guys have the band filled after surgery, I am following dr orders though so I am not overeating

I am on day 7 almost on soft foods, did you have your band filled during surgery or after post op

I am 10 days out and experienced the same pain in my side, went to bed and next day it was gone!!! Have you started soft foods yet?
