Thank you all for reading and helping. I have researched these topics but looking for some specific advice. I had lapband 12 years ago and I am curious if anyone else has been sleeved after the band how different are the recoveries? I know different for everyone but in general I’d like to hear experiences. Needing some advice on my job....I work as a nanny, he is a teenager so I’m really just a taxi driver. I am not telling my boss about this surgery, for personal reasons, but did tell her I’m having surgery. I literally drive him to and from school and can rest the rest of the day. I am having surgery on a Monday and staying over 1 night. I was hoping to be able to drive him on Thursday or Friday. Would I be crazy for doing this? I keep reading different things about some up and feeling good few days after and others not for weeks. I am 39 and other than obese I am in very good health and stay active as I have 3 of my own kids. Just wanting some opinions. Thanks so much!!!

Hello everyone! My gastric sleeve surgery is scheduled for 10/15 and I can’t wait. It’s been a wild ride! 12 years ago I had the lapband. I was 257 and got down to 167. I had two pregnancies and lost all of the weight right after. About 8 months ago I started having a lot of issues with the band. Long story short I have to have it removed due to erosion and have gotten back up to 225 and feeling like crap! I have lost the greatest tool I had to help me and I can’t wait until this surgery to get me back on track. I start my pre op diet on 10/1 and that is stressing me out a bit but I’ll push through. I am only hoping for no complications and a quick recovery as I have three wild and crazy kids!!! Hoping to connect with some or all of you for support and experiences!
