Well for one tomorrow the 20th is my birthday so it is going to be a great day, lol. For 2, I had a band to sleeve revision almost 13 months ago and I can tell you that you will not regret this. This has been the best decision I have ever made and life with the sleeve is 100000 times better than life with the band. Best of luck to you!!!!!

How are you doing? Back home yet? Remember, it gets better everyday...

Hi Everyone!

How are you? Surgery went well, my doctor said there was a lil more scar tissue than anticipated. The first night was rough with the waves of nausea, but a little Zofran cleared that up. Got up on Saturday, washed up, went for a walk and I was pooped. Back to bed I went for a few hours until my family came to visit. Took another spin around the hospital floor and I was done for the day...sleep was calling my name.

I was released on Sunday and all is going well. I have no appetite but I am making sure I get my fluids and Vitamins in. I'm walking twice a day, no driving yet. I've noticed that if I sit for more than an hour in one spot, I'm a lil stiff and sore when I get up.

Yesterday, I braved costco with my dad. Again, I can home and took an hour nap. Each day it's getting better and better.

The best decistion I've made was to have the revision surgery!

First post-op is in August 1st. I'll keep you posted.

Talk to you soon!

Woohoo! I'm glad to hear that surgery went well. Zofran really is a great drug for nausea.

The first few days it's really tiring to get out and do stuff, but it's good that you are. Being in motion really seems to decrease my stiffness too.
