  1. I had d same pain and one day i woke up and I coudent even drink. So i called my dr.and I had a slip and my port had flipped. I didnt want it removed cause I lost 140lbs. and was only 10 lbs. to my goal.Long story short he took d liquid out for 2 months and gained 15lbs:(. Now im 5 weeks out frm d revision and lost18. Slow but he said it will cause I only weight 170. D diff. With d sleeve is that I have no problems with any food and @ times i feel like I eat too much.Lol.
  2. I had a revision frm band to sleeve @178. Im about 4 weeks out and doing really good! I dont weight my self@ home only when I go to d Dr. and in d first two weeks I lost 18lbs.. I didnt have a pre op diet i only did liquids from 12 midnight before surgery. My diet is a little diff. than others,full liquid out of hospital and I was aloud to drink gatorade, v8 so he wasent to stricked about d sugar free drinks. Ill be 4 weeks Tomorrow and today I tries Some chicken not blended but very good chewed. I almost never blended anything cause im use to chewing very well cause of my hand. He wants me to eat a little more cause my bmi is already @25.I lost 140 on d band and it slipped and I had a liquid removed for 2 months and gain 20 lbs. so d Dr. recomended me d sleeve to help me lose d rest and he said that d sleeve will help me maintain:) d one thing i was worried about was losing too much but d Dr. said that my body will know when to stop and there is ways to gain Some back If I need to....sorry for d Long story.lol
  3. Yes I'm 3 weeks out and my Dr. told me to eat some peanut butter. He even said that I can put it on crackers.just remember to chew:)
  4. My nut and Dr. said d only way to cause a leak with food is If u eat a whole burrito early on. Every Dr. If diff so just follow there rules. I got a revision from lap band to sleeve with a very low bmi and his diet for me was a little diff. I did protein drinks as soon as i got home and he said If ur hungry u could already Try yogurts and a little refried beans. Which I havent done d beans till I see him Tomorrow. Just take it slow and see how ur tummy feels.
  5. Try blending a banana with milk or If I can eat 1 banana a day that helped me and i was able to get off my meds.:)per doc. request
  6. I called d hospital and my doc. was able to give me tynelo with codine which I like much better than vicodine. Vicodine works for d pain but gets me way to high.lol.. Im not big Medicine person.
  7. Yes horray Its norma!!! Today while going on my too Long of a walk I started getting a little pain in my belly button and pushing it in with my hand helped.

  9. I got d sleeve with a very low bmi because I was a revision from band to sleeve and Thats my biggest cunsern my doc. says that my body will know when to slow down. I hope soo i already have sooo many people who didnt agree with me getting d sleeve.lol. I was soo afraid to just have d band taken out and gain all my weight back.
  10. I'm also very nervous and I can't seem to stay positive:( especially when so many people in my family don't want me to get d revision from band to sleeve. I also have children a 4 and 10 year old. Who only want me to tuck them in bed.lol
  11. I'm also having d sleeve done on August 2. Soooo nervous.lol. wish us both luck. Why can't u have red hello? I just bought some.
  12. I'm in d same boat I'm getting a revision from band to sleeve on August 2 and I also only have to do a 24hour liquid diet.
