Had surgery 12/2. Feeling great. No pain meds since 12/3 other than tylenol. I had revision from band to sleeve. Just had a major coughing fit. That kinda hurt!

Had revision from band to sleeve yesterday. Going home today. I feel amazing. Very little pain. Walked a mile and a half on the unit before I left!

Had my revision from lap band to sleeve yesterday going home today. Feeling amazing!!

How did your revision go? I’m going from band to sleeve on December 2. Anxiety is a little high just not sure what to expect.

Having my Band to Sleeve on 12/2. Had my band since 2012. Ready to be done with things getting stuck and constantly wondering if it’s still ok in there or slipped or eroding. Have always struggled with the fact of knowing that there’s something in there that shouldn’t be in there and what could go wrong. I’ve lost 40 pounds in eight years that I have kept off just ready to move onto the next step and get the rest off.

My surgery date is 12/2 as well. Band to Sleeve.

My revision date is tentatively set for 12/5

How did it go? I am revising to a sleeve. Tentative date of 12/5. Super nervous.

What does the pre-op diet consist of?

I just got ins approval for band to sleeve revision. Hoping by middle Nov to have mine.

Hi everyone. I was banded 3/12/12. So far I have lost 45 lbs. I have felt kind of stalled lately and minimal restriction so I got a fill on Thurs 7/17 of 1cc. Friday afternoon I noticed some itching around the injection site. It about the size of a quarter not sore at all. Looks like an itchy raised red rash. Has anyone ever had this problem. I called the doc on call today to ask if he thought it was an infection. He said he does not think it is an infection. Just possibly irritation from the fill and that it will probably be that way for a week. . According to the PA that does my fills, my port is angled and deep she said. So it usually always bruises and she pushes pretty hard to locate it. No pain with this process since she numbs it first. This time the numbing burned a bit. So I have even wondered if I was having an allergic reaction to the numbing meds. Just looking for some feedback. Trying to not let my mind create anxiety over thinking it is a port infection.

Thanks for the input. I believe that is what the problem was. By the following Monday it had stopped itching. Still a little red but not painful or itchy at all.
