<p>Here are my quick stats: </p> <p> Lap-Band in Monterrey, Mexico in 2003. Over 11 years I lost 100 pounds and gained back 40. </p> <p> Revision to Gastric Sleeve in Las Vegas August 5, 2014</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>When I was first researching about a revision surgery and the sleeve, I read about so many complications. I learned a lot about what could happen. For those of you who are debating surgery, here is my success story:</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>My experience has been great. I have NO REGRETS. I had my revision surgery from the lap-band to a gastric sleeve in one operation. In fact, it was done as an outpatient. I arrived at the hospital at 6am and was on my couch recovering at about 4:30 pm. </p> <p> </p> <p>Since the first day I was able to drink Water and a ready-made Protein Shake. It was slow drinking, but had no issues. I took my pain medication for 2 days, only because I was scared that if I didn't take them, I would have pain. I didn't. I would say the worst pain I felt on a scale of 1-10 was about a 4. I slept on my side after about 3 nights. I took a shower the day after my surgery and walked a lot. On about day 3 I got the gas pains, but took Gas X and they only were bad for about an hour. I had no problem getting in my 60 grams of Protein - in fact, I usually had 80 grams (2 shakes and one Unjury chicken Soup broth)</p> <p> </p> <p>On day 10, my Protein Shakes started to disagree with me - well, my intestines disagreed with them! As soon as I started drinking, I could feel my intestines filling with water and would have to run to the bathroom. TMI I know, but it happened.</p> <p> </p> <p>14 days after surgery at my 2 week follow up appointment, I told my doc that the protein shakes were giving me issues and his response was to stop drinking them and "let's get you on solid foods." I haven't had one since (almost 2 weeks ago). Since then, I have been eating real food and I feel great! I have mostly had softer foods like deli turkey or eggs but last night I had salmon and it was great.</p> <p> </p> <p>I feel better today 25 days after surgery than I have felt in the last 2 years. I have lost 25 pounds but it must look like more because everyone I see is asking me if I have lost weight (I don't think I look like I have, but that's another issue.....) I have energy like never before. I sleep better. I feel "normal" when I go out to eat. I sometimes want the junk, but I am able to resist. My stomach has NEVER growled and I don't feel hungry. Sometimes I feel "empty," but I can wait to eat.</p> <p> </p> <p>I am a boring patient. I LOVE being boring! Anyone else out there proud to be boring?</p>

I am doing good .

That is good he will take care of you .i am 15 mt out

My god bless u .

<p>Mississippi Girl- I am on the 10th as well (and a Mississippi Girl, too)! Leaks are a very, very, small percentage- a risk nonetheless. I have some worries but I am going to pray without ceasing and I believe He will carry me through just fine !</p>

I have 3 cups a day but I drink a lot of Water.< /p>

Hang in there god is good.

Hope all is well god is good be bless.

Hope is well god good,

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen. (‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭34-36‬ ASV)
