For all who had VS already, do you think if my friend has a surgery on Monday she will be able to go sight seeing for a few hours on Thursday?

we would not recommend it she would maybe feel okay for the bout the first 20/30 minutes and then she will feel like complete crap you have to be really really really careful I didn't feel good and tell about 2 days ago and I got sleep on the eighth of October you can't drink Water normally you have to make sure you have to have something in your stomach what you have to have some sort of Protein she's not going to be able to walk for very long just please please be very very careful you guys . remember she just had major surgery!

so I went into the hospital yesterday morning for my revision.. band to sleeve. I was so excited so when I woke up from anesthesia the surgeon told me he could not do the sleeve because my stomach was so damaged from the band. so I have been banned rebuild and he says we could try in 6 months and possibly be healed he said there was no way he was going to touch my stomach with staples. I would have leaked for sure. I'm home and disappointed but I'm glad that he took the band out of me.

I am glad that he removed it.... The erosion was my number 1 reason for not trying the band. 6 months goes by very fast, don't worry.

Freshly sleeved as of yesterday. This has been the most profound and incredible journey so far. The support I have found here at the hospital and from all of you here has made this such a moving experience. We have so much to look forward to...together. Thank you to those before me who shared your experiences. It waa invaluable knowing what to expect. And to those being sleeved in the future, may you be blessed with strength, support and love.

4 days post-op and still drozy! Not to mention lazy.....how'd u shake it?

If you are still taking the narcotic painkiller they give you to take at home, try using just Children's Tylenol instead. That narcotic will make you very tired and lazy. Some people also just have a hard time shaking the anesthesia for a few days. I didn't start having any energy at all until this afternoon. I haven't taken the lortab until just a few minutes ago to help me sleep tonight. Also, the more fluids and Protein you get in, the more energy you will have. Good luck. I know you can do it :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
