It's done!

Came home last night. I have to say, I was completely unprepared for the level of pain and nausea. I'm quite swollen, so every sip is painful. I'm almost in tears when I have to take my pain meds (liquid) because If I try to sip it, I gag, so I have to take it like a shot.

It took 4 hrs for the surgery, most of that as to remove the band.

I'm sure I'll have difficulty even remembering how miserable these days are. But for now, I regret it. A lot. The pain and discomfort are out of control. :(

  • Just take care. Be patient with the process, this is MAJOR surgery and it takes time to recover. But it will get a little better everyday. The first week was definitely the hardest! Good luck to yo

OUCH! I'm soooo sorry that you are having to go through a painful recovery. Having a revision is so much harder on your tummy than just getting sleeved. I didn't have a revision so my surgery took less than 45 minutes to get sleeved... If yours took 4 hours you can imagine how much more trauma your poor tummy had to endure than someone like me who didn't have to go through the revision process! Feel better soon!
