You will not regret it once it is completed and you are healed . Complications can happen but I will pray you are complication free....one day at a time!

Way to go! I have started couch to 5K on the treadmill so I hope it won't be too long before I can say I completed my first 5K

It took me a total of 4 weeks to really start feeling like myself again. I still have to pay attention to my body because when it tells me I need to rest, it means NOW Give yourself time and be kind to yourself.

I have lost between 500-750 lbs in my life.....why was I 269 when I got my lapband and why had I gained 30 when my lapband had slipped. i knew I couldn't do it by myself so I have the sleeve to help me along lifes journey now!

Best wishes and praying all goes well.

Fantastic!!

Congradulations!

My doctor released me for both at my 2 week checkup but I don't think that is the norm

Welcome and hope all goes well. Keep us posted

Fantastic! I am so happy for you.

Thanks so much! I have already gotten so tired of Protein drinks! I could probably even add unflavored protein powder and get a good amount in at once

Very well put and a lot to think about. I had a revision so I experienced some of that already but I am sure I am headed there again

Congradulations! That is over 10 lbs a month so you are workibg it!

I am going zip lining in June and perhaps 6 flags and maybe.....well you get the idea

I have shrunk 3/4" in the last few years...they told me it was age

I actually had band removal, hernia repair and the sleeve in one procedure and, from what I have read, my recovery time and advancement through the stages have been comparable to others with just sleeve surgery. Thereis a forum on the main forum menu for Lapband to sleeve revisions you might want to check out. Good luck with your journey!

Congrats...you are an inspiration!

Way to go! You are truly an inspiration

I am a March 20th revision and feel tired a lot (working full time and have to travel once a week). Other than that, life is soooooooo much better than with the band! I am having cottage cheese, refried beans, creamed soup, along with sf Popsicles and pudding. I am drinking one whey protein shot a day. Hope everyone else continues to do well!

I am almost 3 weeks out now and' trust me, it will become a distant memory and you will be so thankful you were able to have a revision, I know I am

Hello! Get your maps out, Wortham, TX here. Revision and hernia repair on march 20th, healing well and ready to enjoy life once again.

Hi Everyone, I am relatively new to this site but decided to introduce myself since I will be having revision surgery next Wednesday the 20th. Not only am I having the band removed and sleeve done, I have to have a hernia repair and TIP due to band slipage...any pre-surgery pointers will be greatly appreciated. Liggleliggle
