I'm soon facing a revision to a sleeve (3 1/2 yrs with the band) cuz my band herniated. I don't remember the pain of post op lapband. What I'm wondering is: is it equal to, more than, less than the lapband surgery?

Any advise u can give to a fellow lapbander?

Wondering same had band same amount ive read a lot have been ok just pain when waking up in recovery for a few minutes

I just had revision surgery on the 12th of this month. I'm so happy I had it, already down 20lbs. I was only on pain meds for 2 days and can tell you that I had more pain when I had my gallbladder removed. I wouldn't worry about the pain what you need to be concerned with is nausea however, the nursing staff does a fine job giving you everything necessary to combat this.

All done. No pain no gas but your right with the nausea. But nurses are great with meds.

In my experience the pain was worse with the revision. Doc chalked it up to having to go through scar tissue. Was on pain meds for three days, but it definately wasn't unbearable, just uncomfy. Nausea was my biggest problem.

Good Luck!
