I also had the lap band before I got my sleeve... my doc has seen recently published research that the band should come out 8 to 10 weeks before you get the sleeve. From what I understood while taking the band out it gives the doc a chance to get all the scar tissue broke up and healed before having the surgery for the sleeve. Which is what I had done. He was excited after surgery to tell me I have a normal sized sleeve instead of being a little bigger due to the scar tissue. I have my 2 week check up on Oct 31 so I am sure I will be on letting everyone what the official weight loss is ! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I just had my first BM on day 8. I was passing gas so I knew I wasn't constipated or impacted. I normally only go 1 time every 4 or 5 days anyways. U need to remember what exactly you are taking in. I know my diet right now isn't anything that my body need to get rid of right away. Mostly still liquids anyway. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I dont remember anything about being in the recovery room before I was sent to my actual room. I was given a push for pain meds. Any time I felt nauseous I told the nurse and they would give me a different type of med for it. I had a cath so no bathroom runs for me. But they did have me up that first day to walk. I was very weak so I only made it to the next room door and turned around and went back to the room. I was so sore that first night in the hospital I remember thinking what the hell did I do to myself. My stomach muscles hurt to bad. Especially they site they took the stomach out of. My first taste of any liquids was the next day when i had to drink barium to check for leaks.... Mmmmmm that was such tastey treat.... NOT!! Lol.. After that I was allowed clear liquids. As the day went on I was able to get the cath out and move more I still didnt do laps around the halls but I made it a little farther each time. I was relieved to be released around 6 PM the second day. I was just happy to be home where I could relax and do what I needed when I wanted to do it. I will go for my 2 week check up on the 31st of Oct so it will be my first official weighing in since surgery. I am curious to see what that scale will say. Over all I believe I was blessed in the way my recovery has gone! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I started this whole journey last Oct 2017 when I found out that my back issues and pain I have been in for over 20 years was found to be caused by the disappearance of a disk in my lower back along with my spine being very miss aligned. The orthopedic told me he wouldnt do surgery to fix my back until I lost 50 pounds and not to take to long to do it because he couldn't understand why I wasn't paralyzed already. I weighed in a 365 lbs then. In the process of doing all the hoop jumping for the insurance company for me to have the sleeve done I lost 35 lbs in a year. I just had my sleeve done on the 16 of October and have no clue what my weight is ringing in at, at this time, due to the fact I dont have a home scale that can handle my weight to begin with. I go back to the doc the 31 for my 2 week check up and am curious to see how much I have lost. I know I have lost some but not knowing the amounts is driving me nuts right now. All I can say is my pants are getting looser and I might need a belt soon to keep them up [emoji16] I love the fact that this thread is started I am over 40 years old (44 to be exact), and over 300 lbs. I know reading others stories and success helps me know I can do this and I am not the only one who has had to go threw it all. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

This has been my nurse since I have been home he wont leave my side. Even has been sleeping under the foot rest of the recliner that I have sleeping in to make sure I am okay. In this pic he is modeling a car seat Cape I made for my grandson last year. He is my personal comedian, and now my fitness buddy when ever I need it! I wouldn't trade him for the world!

I and only 6 days out from surgery and I am really having a had time of resisting Chips and dip that my every so supportive husband brought into the house last night! HELP!!!! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

See this is why I am not a doctor. I dont thibk outside the box. Lol who knows. I am just glad I am not the only one that has random unexplained pains Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am not sure how much weight I have lost since I am only on day 6 after surgery. I am just praying that it's not the start of shingles from all the stress of the operation. But you do give me another reason and that it could be a possibility of something else. Which is a relief!! Thanks for a possible explanation! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
