Sorry you're having such a rough post op period! I had my band/port removed and converted to the sleeve 5/20/21. I really underestimated the severity of the surgery. I am almost 5 weeks out and I can say I feel MUCH better now. I did not anticipate the length of recovery after this surgery. My band surgery was so easy but this was another story. What got me through was adding a couple scoops of unflavored protein powder to water with crystal light and just sipping through the day.

Looking for others that have had the conversion from lap band to gastric sleeve. So far my first 3 weeks post op have been rougher than expected, but doing better. Still battling some lingering nausea and finding it hard to eat food. Just looking to others for support!
