431kiwi got a reaction from BlueTattoo in Headed Down The Wls Path...again.
I just had revision surgery from band to sleeve last week. I had the band 3 1/2 yrs and it slipped 2 years ago. I never knew if I was going to be able to eat or not from day to day. It got much worse about 2 months ago. I couldn't take it any longer. I'm at work today - still weak but functioning. I only took 4 days and the weekend. Good luck to you.

Had my op yesterday. Apart from the horrible nausea coming out of anesthesia I have been pleasantly surprised. It doesn't really hurt to sit up or move around in bed despite the 5 incisions.
chicken broth has never tasted so good! Spent most of yesterday either NPO or sipping watered down Gatorade.
All in all - everything is going good. Looking forward to my new healthier self! Thanks for the support November buddies.

I'm home and just resting. I haven't ventured to the shower yet (gross) but I was told to leave the bandages on until Saturday. I have clear bandages over gauze.
I've read a lot of stories where people have regretted their decision in the following weeks after surgery. I think we all need to remember our reasons for doing this. We want to be healthy and needed help to get there. Don't lose focus. We can all do this. There will be hard times but in the long run I believe it will be worth it. Hang in there!
