I was band in 2009 and had conversion surgery Feb 2018. I have lost about 55 lbs.

Hi, My conversion surgery was Feburary 19, 2018. I have lost 55 lbs and is happy with my slow weight lost. My diet is ok most of the time. My problem is not drinking water. I want to try to lose a total of 100 lbs by my anniversary date. [emoji4]

Hi, my surgery to remove my band and perform the sleeve was Feb 20. I have lost 46 lbs and is happy with the results so far. I like the slow weight loss because the skin is recovering nicely (no saggy skin). I am almost out of the 200s and can`t wait to get into the 100s. I have had no issues with the sleeve.

I teach preschool and took two days off. I was tried and my energy level was on zero. I told me babies I was sick and they were really good and helpful. I understand your concerns, I would hate to miss the first week of school.

My surgery was February 19 and I have lost 42 lbs so far. The weight is coming off slow and it's fine with me. Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have no problems with food going down. I take small bites and chew my food well. I will vomit if I eat to fast or don't chew my food well. (I learned that lesson quickly). Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am 6 weeks post op from my revision from band to a sleeve. I have lost 27 lbs and feel great. The only difference is I don't have a port anymore. The restriction feels the same to me. I eat much less than I could with the band. My surgery was done in one operation. There were no complications. I'm very happy with the sleeve. Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was given hydrocodone to take every 4 hours when I was released from the hospital. I took it as directed for 2 days. Now I only take it once a day usually at bedtime. Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, I'm 5 days post op from being sleeved. I received a binder from the hospital and has not taken it off. I think it helps my pain levels. I sleep in it too. Changing positions hurts but I can sleep most of the night. What did they give you for pain? Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, The Dr removed the band, remove the scar tissue and made the sleeve in one surgery. Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, I was off the grid during my hospital stay. I went to the hospital by myself and the surgery was 3 1/2 hours long due to my band was slipped and there was a lot of scar tissue. I was up and walking a few hours afterwards. Did not have a lot of pain and hardly used my morphine drip. I stayed in the hospital an extra day because of dehydration. I m home feeling good. Thanks for all of the positive words. Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app
