Had my band out Aug 9th the recovery is about the same , just less has pain for me. So happy made that decision , every fill , I was either too tight where could not eat or end up getting stuck to the place where I was in the ER. This was the best decision I made . You will not regret it!

1000mg daily is what I have been taking ,and with my Lapband the hair loss lasted about 3 months. So now that I went through the sleeve, I am scared I will going through the hair loss process again.. Yuck!

How food wasn't such a problem until you start your pre-op diet. Since I started LIQUID diet , my job have had 3 pot luck dinners and 2 birthdays that were celebrating with CHOCOLATE cake ... Now my husband have gift certificate for our favorite resturant !..,,,, boy and wouldn't you know all of this iwas in week span... I still have less than a week left ......HELP..

Wow I feel you I am scheduled Aug 9th and I woke up this morning in a panic,heart racing,I really had to talk myself into reality. I know this normal but I really don't remember feeling this way when I had my Lapband placed.

I totally understand, my husband do not want me to have the surgery, since I had the Lap-band and with all the complications and ending up in the ER 3 different times. He wish I just to cancel me date for Aug 9th, I keep saying NO! On the other hand I am excited and now counting down the days, but in the back of my mind I am starting to freak out toooooo. My mind is wondering all over the place.

Try Gaviscon not the store brand, it really work, I had horrible Heartburn during my pregnancy it was the only thing that work. Also after taking any antacids try not to drink water for 20-30 min ,That way it allows it to coat and work. When you drink water it just washes it away therefore you lose the effect.

My question to you would be ,is it painful, red,or draining fluid. And last does it have a ordor?. If yes to anyone of the listed then you should see a Doctor.

I am Aug 9 th so excited yet nervous , especially when I read all the different post ! I am a Lap-band converting to a sleeve . I was shock also because she called to tell me she was submitting me, then the next day she call for a surgery date.

Sorry I corrected it I have the Band now,and will be converting to the sleeve due to complications,,, sorry I didnt have my eyeglasses on when I wrote the post..lol

I have had the Band for over a year and had to be rushed to the ER from complication from getting stuck and swelling where i could not catch my breath and severe pain, three different times, now I am converting to the sleeve early August, I am just checking if anyone else converting to sleeve after lap-band problems?

My date is Aug 9th I wish it was closer but I could not get a pre-op evaluation appt until end of July so it put my date early Aug. I know your are counting down,but until then I will keep reading!

And you do not want to get the munchie,,,, because you will be tempted to eat the forbidden food!

Thank you, I am Nurse and sometime lifting and turning patients occurs during my shift so I will take weeks.

Just got the word that my surgery was approved ,date set for Aug 9th , I was so excited I forgot to ask how many days in the hospital? and how long to take off from work?
