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.

I am so nervous as well. Supposed to have my bandvremoved 8/15/16 and have to wait 2 to 3 months to get the sleeve really wished they could/would do all in 1 but hoping for the best!

Hi All!
My procedure was on 7/28 and had my 2 week follow-up today. Everything is healing as it should. Super happy and staying focused! I'm still on liquids one more week and transition into soft foods for another 21 day cycle. One day and one pound at a time.
Pre-Op (7/14 to 7/28): lost 12 lbs
Post -Op (7/28 to 8/10): lost 16 lbs
Total to date: lost 28 lbs
Hope everyone is evolving to their next step and staying healthy too!

I was revised to sleeve on June 6 th they removed the band in the same surgery ! I can't even tell you how awesome this is ! I can eat grilled chicken haven't had that in 5 years ! The sleeve allows you to eat healthy food so sorry that I spent so much wasted time with that ! I am 10 weeks post op I have lost 30 lbs ,I started at 212 and hit 182 today wahoo ! You will love the difference no episodes of being stuck or vomiting and recovery was really a breeze! Best of luck to you it was the right choice for me !

I couldnt agree with you more. I had my band since 2007. I had my revision surgery removing the band and revising to sleeve on 7/26/16 and its the best decision ive ever made. It is amazing being able
To eat little yet anything healthy you want without worrying about it coming back up. Or being unable
To talk due to sliming...so so happy now. Totally worth it!!!!!

Although I know the band has been successful for a lot of people, I think it's an evil, soul sucking device that should be banned (get it?). The band doesn't teach us to eat healthy. I could never eat salads, vegetables or meat. Instead we learn to eat the foods that are easiest to get down so we don't spend the night in the bathroom.
I haven't been sleeved yet, but I have no doubt it'll be 100 times more effective than the band.

I had my revision done April 28 and it's the best thing I've ever done. I've lost 40 lbs so far (started at a lower bmi so have lost somewhat slowly). I love being able to eat normal food and not getting stuck. I'm able to focus on eating protein-rich food since you can only eat such small portions. My eating habits have changed completely.
Wish I did this procedure from the start.

Yes. I am still on liquids but I have lost 17lbs since surgery. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using the BariatricPal App

July 25, 2016. Had my two week post op appt yesterday and am down 10 lbs. I got to have a scrambled egg last night and it may have been the best egg I have ever eaten! I can drink a lot of Water, but 2oz of egg really filled me up. I seem to be losing slower than others but I feel great and am glad to be on this journey!

July 5 here. I feel great. More energy, less medication, and steady weight loss. Best thing ever !!

I had mashed potatoes yesterday too, and they were amazing!

I was weighing at first when I wasn't eating and the scale was looking pretty. Now that I'm doing better and trying to get my Protein and fluids in, I'm afraid it won't look as good now, but I'm still trying not to weigh until then for a surprise. I just have to remind myself, no matter the number, it will be a loss and a step forward. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Man, that would have been devastating. Yes for your benefit, but to have two surgeries! Ugh! Thank goodness it all worked out! Let us know how all that pureed food goes and also if you try any good recipes. Congrats on the weight loss. You will make yourself crazy weighing yourself that much. But I understand the urge. After we've been trying to lose weight for so long and the scale not budging, its insane how fast the weight is coming off! Yay for all of us! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Congrats on your loss keep up the good work. I would have been devastated if I had woke up to no sleeve. I'm glad everything worked out!

Hey sisters. Just got back from my post op appointment. It went great. I am 8 lbs down. He said the weight loss should pick up around 3 weeks post surgery because during thenfirst 3 weeks ur body is focused on healing after major surgery. After that time it kicks into gear on weight loss. Yayy. And i get to start my oureed diet. Im SO EXCITED!!!!!! so glad everyones doing great. Picked up my Vitamins. He said i can take them as tolerated now and ease into the amt i need. One thing i need to do is stay off the scale three times a day lol. Im gonna try to weight once or twice a week. We will see if i can actually do that. Hahaha.
He said during my sirgery they really contemplated just removing my lap band and doing sleeve in a later surgery due to it had slipped, caused a hernia he had to repair. But they ouffed up my stomach after and it looked great so they proceeded. Omg inwould have been soooo upset if they hadnt sleeved me. I know its for my own good but inselfishly want to get the show on the road and get rid of this big ol butt. Lol. Have a great week yall. Im gonna eat me some yogurt. Lol
