tlah

I just had a revision on Thursday it's all been great except the nausae they are keeping me an extra day because of it

Hardly no pain no gas. But bad nausea in fact keepin me another day. Bunions start phase two today. Protein. Love my doctors. The best advice I can give don't cheat on your preop, I did two mile walk th morning of my surgery and I started weight watchers to get used to journaling. If funds are tight youncan log into sparkpeople. Dot come. It's like ww online but its free. This a great choice. Now I have too how I handle phase two Protein Powder. My doctor does phase one for 24 hrs then two weeks of shakes. Then mushiness. Anyone else recently sleeeved

All done. No pain no gas but your right with the nausea. But nurses are great with meds.

Doing well no pain no gas just nausea. Walking around great sitting reading.

Doing great except for nausea but meds are helping no gas and hardly no pain

Well just had swallow all well still nasuaf but they on it. Doctor said all looks well

Well how did everyone do. I'm doing great. Pain isn't bad at all I had really bad nausea when I woke up but they were on it and within minutes gone. At 8 today I will go for my swallow then I get my one day of liquids then two weeks of Protein. No gas pains. At least not yet. And to boot I lucked out with a private. How is everyone else feeling

Surgery was 3 hours. Didn't have much pain but very bad nausea. Had to be given 4 different meds but finally worked and very quick. Just walked only Water swabs till tomorrow. I also did a two Milwaukee walk this morning prior to surgery I feel that helped. I don't have any gas either. Knock on wood just tired goings back to lay Dow. Hospital sty is 3 days. If your next don't be afraid stay positive blind works well to help body

Surgery was 3 hours review went well. Pain not light just walked feel good just had very bad nausea but meds made better

I had my revision almost 3 months ago' date=' it was 5,600. I also has my band done in Mexico. You do not sacrifice care or skill for price. I will be heading back for plastics.

Don't let some people give you advice they know nothing about!!!

Revision 1/31/13 by Dr Cabrera and Venezuela in MX[/quote']

Can you give some info on the plastic there. Where should I look thanks so much

I'm soon facing a revision to a sleeve (3 1/2 yrs with the band) cuz my band herniated. I don't remember the pain of post op lapband. What I'm wondering is: is it equal to' date=' more than, less than the lapband surgery?

Any advise u can give to a fellow lapbander?[/quote']

Wondering same had band same amount ive read a lot have been ok just pain when waking up in recovery for a few minutes

I was banded September 09. Benn filled unfilled etc. never really lost more than 26. I'm now at 201. Esophagus dilation been totally unfilled for the last two months. I just realized there was a thread for revision only. I have a realize band. Thank god no weight gain. Since unfilled stated weight watchers for tracking etc. it's been good. I failed my band and my band failed me. I'm headed to the Brigham in Boston. I had such an easy recovery with the band I'm praying the same with the sleeve. I teach zumba so I love being active. But no matter how much you excercise it won't correct a bad diet or eating habits. I'm not nervous. But more afraid of the unknown pain. I didn't even have gas pain with the band. My third day post op I walked a 4 mile jaunt in the park. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well... My band didn't really fail... I went from 278 to 214 and I was still losing a lb here and there but I didn't like all that came along with the band. I'm very active and every time I hiked or worked out my port was very sore. Also my band was very in consistent. One day I could eat a salad and the next I would not be able to get the same salad down. My band did not slip and I did not gain weight back but I never felt good with the band. Also my husband and I got married in September and I had a lot of concerns with getting pregnant with the band and the possibility of a prolapse or slippage during morning sickness. A few months ago I basically had my band unfilled and I decided the discomfort wasn't worth keeping the band in. So I had the band removed and the sleeve done to prevent weight gain per my surgeons advice.

Great. It gave me reflux and I'm a zumba teacher and I'm toned but weight not coming off stuck at 199. Went up to 213 I couldn't excercise now I'm back to 201 you have given me hope that it will be fine. My port bothers me when I'm working out too

Having trouble finding Multi Vitamins with Iron. Any suggestions?

Centrum chewable

I am one day post op revision all in one surgery. I feel like a million bucks. The first few minutes in recovery is very rough. I was very nauseous and in a LOT of pain. They got all of that under control quickly and it has been smooth sailing since then. I have had a few instances of reflux when burping and that has been my worst "complication" no nausea' date=' very little discomfort ... I felt like a million bucks when they brought my Breakfast of broth, diluted apple juice, ice and Jello. I didn't touch the Jello but the rest was amazing. As of right now I'm feeling so confident about my decision and I already feel better with out the port.
