I'm band to sleeve, 4 weeks out. I went back to work after 2 weeks. I was only planning on one week, but was to exhausted to go back. I was in the hospital 2 days. I only took my pain med twice when I was home then I was off of them. I definitely would do it again

Conniesings: I too am 4 weeks out. Yep, I get nausea on and off but not to the extent at the 2 week mark. I'm a little older too at 50 years old.

I'm a revision from band to sleeve (Aug 8). I'm looking for buddies. I'm SpaniCB

Congratulations!!

I had my revision band to sleeve on August 8.

For me no, but I'm just now starting food. I've been on protein drinks, yogurt, some cottage cheese. Just remember, every day gets a little bit better and it does

I was drooling too! LOL. I'm 3 weeks out now and tried a little egg salad and a couple of crackers and it stayed down! I will try tuna.

You sound like me! I was sleeved August 8, spent 2 days in the hospital and released on day 3. Hard to get out of bed, hate the smell of food cooking only because I miss chewing! LOL Yep, got my hair colored and cut too. I'm supposed to go back to work this Friday

That's wonderful!

That sounds so good! I'm looking forward to trying watermelon

How far out are you?

I got denied first time, approved through appeal

Hang in there. I had days like that especially the first week. I feel a lot better this week. My problem was I had no sugar in me and felt horrible, weak. Doc said go home and drink a glass of fruit juice and you will feel 100% better. I did just that and I did feel better. I was worried too about getting enough liquids in but just keep sipping. I feel about 70% of my old self this week. I'm get worn out easily. I ran a couple of errands today and felt exhausted when I got home. Hang in there. It does get better.

Hi JammyDancer! I had little pain. I think I used the Lortab liquid my doc prescribed maybe twice at night. My nausea was bad in the hospital, but since being at home it comes and goes. I started purees this week and you definitely will know when you are full. I feel stuffed like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner. I thought I was going to take a week off but ended up taking 2 weeks off. This took a lot out of me such as being tired. Just follow your doctor's orders and should be fine. Remember to sip your liquids. Mine hurt in the beginning going down, but I kept with it. My doc told me he wanted me to drink 2 shot glasses of water every hour. The more you sip and walk the faster you heal. He also told me everyday gets a little bit better and he was right. I go back to work this Friday. I have a desk job too.

MyNameIsNatalee: I also had a very hard recovery but not from scar tissue. I am 10 days out and feel so much better. My doctor told me everyday gets a little bit better. Hang in there. You can do it.
