New here, 2 days postop

[The.new.g 48]

Hey everyone, happy New Year's Eve!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I had my lap band to sleeve revision on 12/29 and was discharged yesterday. I was banded in 2007, did pretty well losing 70 lbs in about 18 months. I regained a little bit, and then got pregnant. Pregnancy went fine but had lots of reflux through the whole pregnancy and could barely eat by the end due to fullness. After I had my daughter, the band was never the same, just did not work. It took 2 appeals to get my insurance to approve my revision, but I finally had surgery and my surgeon found that the band was actually unbuckled and completely loose. So, I'm happy to be sleeved and done with the lap band!

I've had minimal pain, only used 1 dose of dilaudid on my PCA the whole time, and haven't filled my oxycodone script at all. The thing that really bothered me post op was nausea, the first night I had terrible nausea. It is getting better but still there a lot. It was a bit uncomfortable to sleep last night, but other than that and a little bloating, I feel pretty good.

Thanks all.
