I was 46 when I got the lapband, 52 when I had the revision to sleeve.

I had mine done with Dr. Fiallo but my insurance had me go to Baystate. Mine is a revision surgery, band out and then sleeved. My weight loss is going slow. I would like to go back to one of their support group meetings but I wish they had a Post-op only meeting. There are too many people looking into having surgery at their meetings

I'm from Springfield. Just had Band to Sleeve revision surgery on 2/4 th

Just an update - Cigna approved and 1 week post-op from revision surgery!!

I broke out in hives on my arms & legs about 10 hours after I got home from the hospital. I took Claritin for a few days, put hydrocortisone cream on the itchy hives and then I was fine after about 3 days.

Probably just had the munchies ????
I agree with the others, it relaxed you and was just what you needed.

It is hard when you see so many people post how quickly they are losing. I had revision surgery 2/4 - no pre-op diet and have only lost 11 pounds. I'm starting to get scared to face the scale and keep thinking I should stay off Bariartic Pal so as not to get frustrated reading about everyone's success but at the same time I need it to see I'm not alone

I had the revision in 1 surgery and the recovery was very easy. Yes the weight loss is slower. I do have acid reflux at night but I can take an over the counter acid reducer and I'm fine. If I eat that 1 bite too much, I get nauseous. The sleeve helps you feel full not stuck like the band I'm happy just to have that thing out of me. Good luck to you.

I get the nausea when I eat too much also

My goal is 75 pounds. I'm just 2.5 months post-op and am only down 22 pounds. I expected it to come off slower since mine was a band to sleeve revision and had less than 100 to lose

. It's interesting that you're not getting any emails because when I logon on my computer I was getting an error message saying that my email address was not valid and emails were getting returned but my nothing has changed and I get other emails which doesn't make sense. So happy that your daughters doing better keep us posted

I was banded in 2008. Had the revision surgery on 2/4. I had minimal scar tissue, the doc said my band had started to slip and I had a small hiatel hernia he repaired. The recovery/ healing process went very smooth and I was expecting worse since it was all done in 1 surgery but was pleasantly suprised

Haven't seen you post in awhile- how is your daughter doing?

I hate to alarm you but something is definitely not right. She should be back in the hospital and a doctor who specializes in sleeve surgery should probably do an endoscopy to see what's going on. She should also be hooked up to an IV for fluids as well as an eating tube until they figure this out. Too much time has passed for her not to be getting any better. I would get a different doctor involved. As a mom myself I sympathize what you must be going through. As someone who had the lapband 7 years ago and was revised to the sleeve a few months ago- I'm no doctor but feel very strongly that this is not a normal recovery

I find if I log my food in My Fitness Pal , eat healthy and exercise I do well. When I don't log, I tend to go off track and then don't lose weight.

I prefer to read the postings from those like yourself who have had the sleeve for awhile and has success as well as failures instead of those that just had the surgery.

It finally went away. Took 8 freaking weeks...but I can eat normal slow and not stick

. I can relate to you because we went in for revision around the same time. I haven't had any crazy meals

Stick with what your doing and get your fluids in. If it's still bad in a couple more days, I would call the surgeon

Just received my approval from BCBS. I'll be so glad to get rid of this band and start loosing weight and getting in shape! My surgeon requires an EDG and ultrasound of the gallbladder, that's my next step and then I'll get my surgery date.
