How r u feeling now

So I never had acid reflux before band n only had it with band only whn it slipped. ... does acid vet better or worse w sleeve

So my revision surgery is Aug 13. Professional development starts around Aug 22ish (basically seating in meetings). Students don't come bk until Sept 2..... so my question is...do u think I will be somewhat bk to normal by Sept 2 to greet students

How's ur recovery

You should have the same feeling u get whn u got full before surgery but only this time ur eating much less...u shouldn't have pain...maybe a little discomfort for it shoukd only last 20min or less....if u feel discomfort u need to slow dow. Or eat less. I hope this help

So had my slipped band unfilled for 3-4weeks. ..n Monday my doc put a small fill in.....n I have some restriction but will probably need just a little more..... she believes I will not need a reposition surgery .....so far I am good...no heartburn or stuckness

How r u doing with your reposition
