So I had my revision yesterday and I'm feeling good. No nausea, no pain, no gas. I've been walking around with no problems. Despite the circumstances, I think I'm doing quite well. The dr took about a 1hr n half bcuz I had a lot of scar tissue and a hilated hernia. The hernia was so bad that it cause my stomach walls to become very thin.

So I'm on liquids for a month and puree for almost a month. Its going to be hard, but I have to do what I have to do. So glad I did the revision. I'm ready for the bright future.

Good luck! I'm not banded yet but hope to be soon!

Awesome! Glad you are doing so well. My experience was similar, except the first couple days I had a lot of nausea. It gets better every day.

What exactly is revision surgery ? Thanks for your help.

For some reason I don't ever have problems with nausea. I'm so glad. Today I feel really sore. I guess bcuz all the meds have wore off. Lol..I still feel better this time around, than I did with the band

Revision is when the lap band is removed and the sleeve is done. You've been revised.

That's awesome! Can I ask how long you had your band? I've had mine for five years without a whole lot of complications so I wonder about the scaring situation as well.

I only had my band for 1 yr 1mo.

I had the band for about eight years got pregnant with twins. After that pregnancy I had problems with the band. Constant throwong up, solids especialy. I had it removed gained weight back. Now I in the process of arranging to have the sleeve done. Wish the sleeve was.available back then, oh well.

I feel pretty good. I still have gas pain in my left shoulder, which is a pain in the a**. Its hard getting all the liquids down. Each day it gets better.

Thanks for asking!!

Gas pain in shoulder? Is that from the anaesthesia?

Its from the gas that is pump into the stomach, so the dr can see inside. Its a common side effect ...it can be very painful.
