  5. I had the band and had to convert to bypass....sleeve mimics band in restriction only.....was to many problems with band...fill has to be exact and may not stay filled. Bypass big decision...so far the best choice made. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

  10. I just had my surgery on the 15th of June and it's only 5 days later and I lost 15lbs...it blows my mind...I can already feel the difference in my functional ability. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using BariatricPal mobile app
  11. It's really not that bad...I was scared too. The band is dangerous. I didn't realize how dangerous until I started having problems. I'm sore from surgery but my pain meds take care of that. It's only 4 days and I lost 10lbs. and I don't feel washed out. I start my vitamins on Wed. I very proud that I took the step. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

  17. I just had the band revision done 2 days ago and I am feeling great. I can swallow pills now..My stomach erosion does not hurt anymore. I don't feel like I am starving and when I eat.. I AM enjoying my Full liquid chicken soup...I feel So much better..I am able to belch now. It's like I am back to normal. It feels so good to be able to drink fluids and not have them go into my lungs. I don't have GERD. I very am confident that I am going to have great results..

  20. That's fantastic. I was told by other patients I would not be able to burp...But I am able to burp. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using BariatricPal mobile app
  21. I feel very good considering I just had surgery 2 days ago. I've been able to eat jello, yogurt and plenty of fluids. Going to have creamy soup tonight. I have 6 incision sites and they look great. Dr Garth Davis said my surgery was Video perfect. I am so glad I don't have any drains. They removed a lap-band. It feels great to finally cross the hurdle of having the surgery done. The waiting and liquid diet had me very nervous. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using BariatricPal mobile app
  22. I'm first day out. I have had to most painful experience I have ever had in my life. They are treating me with .5 of dilaudid every 3 hrs. I went for a long time without pain medication when I came out of the Recovery area to the floor. It burns like fire.
  23. Very encouraging. I am in the middle of my liquid diet...Ive done well for 2 days now Sent from my SM-J700T1 using BariatricPal mobile app
