OMG, I had to verify I hadn't typed this. I too was experiencing bad leg cramps. I upped my Water intake and increased B12 and started eating bananas. We will see what happens. Keep us abreast of updates.

Brigette got a reaction from jcbrittain2 in How long does it take you to drink a protein shake?
Good Morning,
Well, I am definitely the exception. I could drink the Premier shake in about 5 minutes since day 3. I am now just about 3 months out. However, I would purposely choose to slow it down. My Dr. advances us to solid foods after the first week. But, I truly believe my sleeve is large and allows me to eat without restrict. However, I truly can't complain because I am still losing steadily. I am not losing fast but, I don't care about that. I just want the weight to stay away. LOL.

Brigette got a reaction from Want2surf in Did anyone like the band better?
I loved my band and was successful with losing weight. However, I first developed some reflux and had Fluid removed, then, I could never get the adjustment right. always too tight or too loose. Later, I lost my vision in 1 eye and was diagnosed with MGUS. Though my vision ultimately returned, I had a fear of this device being in me. I was told that there wasn't any correlation, and they are likely correct, however, I couldn't relax and didn't feel reassured. So, I had the band removed and revised. I really didn't want any other wls, but I was gaining so quickly that I needed something and, so far so good.

Brigette got a reaction from ASLEEVE4ME2015 in How long did revision take?
HELLO,
My revision took about 2 hrs. My surgery was at 11 and I was wheeled into my room at 2:15. (Time includes revision and recovery room time). The recovery room time was roughly an 1 1/2. I had my band unfilled a fews months before.
