7am...

hello Josefina! I am 2 weeks post here. I can just remember feeling nervous and so excited that i was close to my surgery. It feels great being on the other side. Good Luck to you!

Hi... I am a little nervous, but more excited. I started packing today. I have a 2 day pre op liquid diet, so far so good. I decided to go to work on the day before (25th) so I could stay busy & hopefully be too busy to be hungry. I wish all of you the best, happiness, success & a speedy recovery!!!!!

Great job!! Keep up the good work!

I had the band and I'm really glad I converted to the sleeve... I've only taken one week off for both surgeries each time.... I would suggest 2 tho.... I work in a high stress job as well and I know it's going to be tough going back when I'm still on liquids

so happy for you ... I will be sleeved Wednesday... Hope mine goes as well!!!

I'm having mines on the 26..I'm NC very nervous

I've heard that sometimes they cut you if your liver is too large and they can't maneuver around it. I haven't heard of making your stomach smaller so it doesn't leak. Why would he do that? Does he thing the lap band did something to your stomach.

Im booked for Aug 25th

Hey! My date is August 26th! I'm very excited/scared!!! Good luck to all of you:) I would love to hear from you all.

Today is Day Five post-op (was sleeved August 18).
I am doing GREAT! Did three loads of laundry this morning, folded, hung and put it all up.
Tummy is only mildly sore.
Am amazed at how well I'm drinking, sipping, slurping.
Am up to 49 grams of protein/day (yesterday). Going up every day. Not trying to be the World Champ during Week One -- just do a little better every day.
I lost THREE FREAKIN' POUNDS LAST NIGHT! That's a personal best, for sure! (And yes, I'm probably still shedding IV weight. But it's still 4 pounds less than just before surgery.)
In other words (knock on wood), I'm lovin' this.

Loristi. I had mine done yesterday too. I got home and I hiccup something awful. Other that that I feel just normal pain. Nothing I can't deal with. But I am very tired. Congrats maybe we can keep in touch !

Hi Everyone
I am revising from Lap Band to sleeve. my date is August 4th. Looking forward to this journey.

I'm also in the process my surgery date is June 10th

This is me, 7 months post-op..79lbs lost

I had my Lap-Band done in April 2012 & at first, it seemed to work really well for me! I lost a total of 35 lbs. initially....then it seemed to stop working. I tried to change my diet, jump start & modify my exercise,....but I didn't get much success. After being "sick" (i.e., blockages, stomach aches, vomiting, ) the past 4-5 months, I decided to have my band removed & to have the VSG done in its place.
I am traveling back to Mexico to have my same surgeon do the conversion. I'm not really nervous because I know what to expect...I just have some issues w/ feeling like a failure because the weight didn't melt off of me! Probably just have some unrealistic expectations ~ LOL! I'm actually very excited about the VSG & am counting down the remaining 10 days until surgery like a kid waiting for Christmas :-D
I plan to read a lot of these Forums & see what others have done during their journeys ~
