I just found out today that I have to have revision surgery to correct an incorrect band placement. Is the recovery time the same as for the first surgery?

I would think so. What does your surgeon say?

But... it's hard to predict these things. My recovery from having my flipped port repositioned was harder on me than my original band surgery. My recovery from having my band removed was a piece of cake (but without frosting). My recovery from my sleeve surgery is going fine but it's been harder on me overall - I get tired so easily and don't have much energy.

In my general experience of recovering from surgeries (including an abdominal hysterectomy and a breast reduction), the longer I'm anesthetized for the procedure, the longer my recovery. And since any kind of revision requires the surgeon to deal with scar tissue, I think that probably adds to the time you spend in the operating room.

Did the taste shock you??? LOL, I think carbonated Water is sooooo gross.

I'm with you on that. And another nasty thing about it is the way it seems to burn as it goes down my esophagus.
