Congrats on getting your band out. I'm ready to get mine out too. I'm scheduled for a revision on 02/09/12. I'm so scared.

Thanks!

It has really been a mind game with me so far! Before, we (hubby and I) would joke about the day that I could actually sit at a restaurant (and not by the bathroom) and have a good meal and keep it down but now, i am afraid to have that good meal! I get queasy just thinking about eating a full meal.

I think the strangest part for me is burping. I have not let out a good burp in 17 years!

I am so ready for my sleeve though! I find that this waiting for 6 weeks is more torture than anything! I am so inspired by all your success stories and I am ready for it to be MY TURN to finally have that happiness! I know it sounds selfish but I cant help that is the way I feel. The band made promises that neither one of us could keep. I am ready for my new bestie to live with! :)

Yay!! SO glad to hear about it. Try to enjoy this time in between - sounds like your stomach and psyche are in need of some RnR. Best of luck to you with your sleeve surgery. You'll go through another tough time in the beginning with keeping things down, but it gets better after a few weeks.

I sometimes think us former band folks handle the post op a little better because we already know what its like to have eating problems.

Good luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
