I had this yellowish stuff on my tongue for about 2 months after surgery. It didn't matter how many times I brushed it I would still get it and finally one day it just went away. It did make my taste buds change tho I cannot drink diet drinks or sugar it makes me sick. The doctor said it was the ketosis.

I had several changes I am 6 weeks post op, first I get this yellow stain on my tongue the doc said it will go away. I have become more sensitive to sweets and salty foods. I don't really use either of them now. Oh and I cannot tolerate spice food anymore. Will see if they change in the future.

Hi I had revision from band to sleeve on 7/26 and my own experience my recovery has been much slower than when I got the band. I stayed in the hospital 2 days and I planned to take 1 week off work and actually had to take 2. The area were my port was hurt for a couple of days. My body is taking a little longer to recover. But I'm thinking since I had troubles with my band and was not able to eat for about 3 weeks before surgery my body was already weak. Everyone is different. Good Luck and hope u have a speedy recovery.

Today is my 9th day out and I feel great. My surgery went well. Everything was so fast. Today I started to get my energy back I'm not drinking pain meds my incisions are almost completely closed except for the one the had the drain it still hurts a little. But other than that I feel I made a good choice for my self to get the surgery done in Mexico. You can email me if u have more questions or concerns. Do your research and be informed before you go. maldonado46435@yahoo.com

I had surgery in Tijuana Mexico last week once u contact ur agents everything is planned and scheduled you will never be alone plus u will make new friends that come from all over. I never told anyone I was going to get surgery for the same reason I didn't want negative feed back. Don't worry it's safe. Good luck

1 week out I was able to start Vitamins. Once I started the full liquid diet. Good luck.

One week out[emoji122]????[emoji122]????[emoji122]???? sleeved on 7/26 and feel ok still tired and not a lot of energy I'm not taking pain meds since Saturday. I still feel swollen and a little bloated. Hopefully stating my purée diet today will give me more energy. Anyone else starting the purée diet. And what will you be eating?

Good luck

Good job congrats.

Try changing food try new things that might start up your metabolism again and start loosing again. Good luck. [emoji4]

Hi I am on the same boat as you but finally made my decision and will be having my band taken out and doing the sleeve. Tired of being stuck. And scared to gain all the weight I've lost so that's why I made this decision. Going to get Sleeved on 7/26/16. Super exited and happy. Good luck on making a decision[emoji4]

Good job on the weight loss. I will be having the revision on 7/26/16 because my band slipped but did loose 88lbs in 1 year. I will post my new journey with my sleeve. And I do agree lost weight is lost weight. Stay on track and you will get to your goal. Focus good luck.

Hi I had the lap band for 1 year lost 88lbs and happy but had a slippage now I'm going in to take the band out and get the sleeve. Any similar stories please post . Super anxious and exited not to have to go in for fills anymore. And worry about a slippage anymore. Please help.

It will get better. Good luck

Yes I had difficulty on my first one and had the fill standing up. The nurse had to use a longer needle. Good luck

Yes agree with the comments above sometimes you loose inches and not lbs.

Yay piece of cake I think needles are scary too[emoji16] but it's over in no time. Congrats on ur first fill
