Day 5. Doing well. Only stayed one night in the hospital, surgery was about 2 hours long, haven't needed to take my pain meds since Friday. I have a drain in, which I didn't expect. Its kind of annoying to deal with but it comes out on Thursday. I can't wait. I'm soooo bored of broth and sugar free whatever at this point and I find myself preoccupied with thoughts of food but I hear that's normal and goes away after you can start to eat more normal again. Been walking a lot and taking it slow. FHSH was a great hospital and my nurse, Hai, the first night was great. You'll do well. Just follow doctors orders, try to walk as much as you can and get your fluids. You're in good hands with ALSA.

Congratulations!! I too just got approved for my Lap revision with Dr.Higa. My surgery is Feb. 10th. I was super happy they got me scheduled so fast. You are in amazing hands with Doc Higa. He has been my doc for six years and consider yourself fortunate to have one of the world's best Bariatric surgeons to do your revision. I wouldn't let anyone else touch me. He has been a wonderful doc with the band and very sincere after gaining back 69lbs. He gets it that the band fails after the initial weight loss.

Congrats!! I was able to do mine both at one time. Best thing I could have done.

Congrats on your date! You will be sooo pleased with the results. ...

Congrats!!!

Update: My new surgeon Dr. Kelvin Higa is going to do just one surgery. I had no problems with the office at my new surgeon getting insurance approval. I wish I would have gone to them from the start! I just got the call today that I am scheduled for January 29th! I cannot wait! It has been quite the journey to get here but I am so glad to be moving on from the band!
