I will have my band removed and sleeved on July 31 by Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, I am nervous and scared that I won't reach my goal. I have had my band since 1/2005 and it worked for my fine until last year that I had an endometrial ablation and got hormones I went from 165 to 200 which is were I am at now, can anyone tell me their experience after band removal and revised to sleeve????

It's great to be home. I've taken my first shower starting sipping my Water. I got my two tums down this morning waiting until 9 for the Multivitamin. Not to be gross I've even passed gas I'm so happy. I can feel it making its way down in my system but its such a relief as it passes' date=' it takes so much pressure off my stomach.

Home care nurse is due at 10 so I'm up and about getting some walking in.

Have a great day sleeves![/quote']

It is a sad but great feeling to be rid of that gas pain! Best of luck in your recovery!!

Are you drinking your fluids? I have a hard time doing fluids of any type. I had surgery July 1st since June 24th I am down 32 lbs. I am pushing, pushing fluids today. I have been stuck at one number for 3-days now and know it is the liquid. Good luck ~ it too shall pass!

How do they do a leak test?

Like upper GI. I had a couple swallows of bitter stuff followed by a couple swallows of vanilla barium. Took a couple pictures and said everything looks great.

I just came home yesterday. Not nearly as bad as expected. Maybe I'm just lucky. No real pain, just a little uncomfortable. I took two ten minute walks outside today! The sipping is just constant. If you're not sleeping, you must be sipping. LOL. Good luck tomorrow. Update us so we know how you are doing.

I keep a bottle on the bed table. I'm on auto pilot with the sipping.

I just got all my Protein for the day in. I didn't expect to on my second day home. I'm still working on Water though. That's a little harder. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just running out of hours in the day.

      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
