Hi, are there any other July sleevers out there. Golly it feels like forever away... 10 weeks to go...

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']

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!

Here at the OCC and just spent the last thirty minutes talking to Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I think I'm in love! He's amazing. Lol. Now let's start this iv and get this over with.

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.

Sorry you can't sleep. I have never been a good sleeper. I usually work nights so my schedule stays messed up. Since the surgery (7/22) I don't think I've slept more than 3 hours at a time. Like you, no real pain or gas, just wake up:) Right now I have the FBI files on TV and I'm playing on the computer. And of course...sipping water! lol
