First time posting in here. I had my Revision from band to sleeve on 8/28. So far I have had constant pain in my joints since then. I had swelling in my hand do to a bad iv during surgery. Which also caused chest pains that I had to get hospitalized because they weren’t sure if I had PE’s. Or pneumonia. Which I had neither. They have since subsided some. Now I am having swelling in my knees. Very painful. And it feels like all this pain is making it worse to do the things I need to do help get better from the surgery. And of course, I can’t take any anti inflammatories. I’ve used ice, heat, and elevation. Any other ideas that anyone has would greatly help. I wanna get moving.

Hello fellas. I had my Revision from band to sleeve on 8/28. So far I have had constant pain in my joints since then. I had swelling in my hand do to a bad iv during surgery. Which also caused chest pains that I had to get hospitalized because they weren’t sure if I had PE’s. Or pneumonia. Which I had neither. They have since subsided some. Now I am having swelling in my knees. Very painful. And it feels like all this pain is making it worse to do the things I need to do help get better from the surgery. And of course, I can’t take any anti inflammatories. I’ve used ice, heat, and elevation. Any other ideas that anyone has would greatly help. I wanna get moving.

I also had my sleeve on the 28th. Mental hunger does get to you. But at time I realize I am not really that hungry.

As a band to bypass patient, I'm very happy with my RNY. The DS is sorta like a sleeve and then an intestinal reroute similar to the bypass. Acid Reflux issues like those that get the sleeve are common with the DS as well, but is not a side effect with the bypass. Something to ponder over as well.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD

- This medical condition is caused when acid in the stomach backs up into the esophagus, which can cause discomfort and a burning sensation known as heartburn. Many patients will experience these GERD symptoms before surgery and many will occur following surgery as well because of the rerouting technique used.

I was set up to have the DS on AUG 13th, but I may go for the RNY do to my doctor just had spinal surgery and he is saying that he will not be physically capable of performing the DS by my surgery date. I can push the date out and have the DS done, but all of my support from family flying in and papers have been set for my current date and they are very hard to change.

My Surgery is Aug 13th. And I was excited til today. My Surgeon is basically putting it in my hands to choose. He says that the DS would be better for me. But because there may be complications do to the band not easy to remove that he may not be able to put the sleeve part of the DS and he would probably have to do the RNY anyway.

I was mentally prepared for the DS, but now I’m conflicted. I really don’t want to push out my date again.

I’m curious about this Lands End.

I need these kinda problems.
