I've dealt with the same thing. My Doc said most low grade fevers are coming from the lungs. Please remember to deep breathe and cough and use your IS. It has helped me so far.

TammygRN it's been rough for me too and I'm still regretting my decision. I came home with a PICC line as a precaution for leaks. I had lap band to VSG revision and the scar tissue was so bad that my surgeon couldn't even see my band when he got in there. He also mentioned that there was also scar tissue underneath where the band was wrapped around my stomach. All I can do is hope and pray that everything will strengthen in the 3 weeks that I will be receiving TPN and I won't have any additional complications. I'm a very nervous/anxious sleever right now. My first 2-3 days were really rough. I'm finally starting to feel more like myself. I hope you are doing better. Hopefully we will both eventually come to love our sleeves.

Rest assured that you aren't the only one. I'm scared too.

I have surgery tomorrow as well. I'm very excited and nervous. Good luck to you guys! See you on the losers side.

Congrats!

I'm glad I found this group. I'm having surgery on Monday June 23rd at Centennial with Dr. Olsen. I'm having lap band to sleeve revision surgery. I'm very nervous, excited, and anxious right now.

Yes Mexico is out of pocket. Insurance won't pay for you to go out of the country.

Thanks Blakqueen!

Thanks Stacie!

Sounds like you are doing great. I think failing this surgery is a big part of my fear right now. I keep telling myself that the band failed me. I couldn't live with the complications that having a fill brought on but it's still a failure in my mind.

So glad everything went well for you! I guess I'm up next.

I'm having band to sleeve revision in Nashville on Monday. How was the recovery?

I wish you were closer. I'm in Middle TN. My surgery is Monday. When is yours? Good luck.

Thanks Barb. I know you are looking forward to your new life. Losing the weight should greatly help your comorbs. I will definitely report back when I'm out of surgery. I wish you all the luck in the world with your new life.

I have spend about $200 or so including protein, vitamins, broth, and nutribullet.

Thanks girliegirl. I will definitely keep praying. You do the same. Good luck. When are you scheduled for surgery?

Thanks so much for your reply. Prayer is definitely my friend right now. I'm trying to use the power of positive thinking to get through these next six days. I can do this. I have to do something to make my life better. I am missing out on so much. The quality of my life is horrible right now. IT IS TIME I TAKE MY LIFE BACK!! All I can ask for is for God to watch over my body and guide my surgeon's and his assistant's hands through my procedure.

Hi. I'm a nurse in TN. I work for a major healthcare insurance company. I'm undergoing lapband to sleeve revision surgery on June 23rd and frankly I'm a nervous wreck. So glad I found this group.

Thanks Stacie and good luck to you too. It looks like yours is in a couple of days.

I just had to meet for a consult with the surgeon. My surgery is scheduled for June 23rd.

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow.

Congrats! Glad all went well.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. I have lapband to sleeve revision on June 23rd and am a nervous wreck. These awful thoughts that keep going through my mind are making me scared. I'm just ready for June 24th to be here already so I can be done with the surgery part of this journey.

I'm a newbie to the sleeve although not to WLS. I will be having lapband to sleeve revision surgery June 23rd. I am so nervous about the possibility of my doctor finding a lot of scar tissue left over from the lapband. I'm just really ready for it to be over already so I can stop worrying.

Good to see another Southerner on the boards!
