Finally

I had my revision on June 17th. Spent one night in the hospital and am now home.

The pain was worse than my band but the PCA pump helped a lot. Differentiating between gas and pain has been interesting. I haven't started with the gas-X but am seriously considering it.

I was told to get in at least 64oz a day. That has been really challenging. I'm not hungry or thirsty so it becomes hard to remember to sip all the time.

I will update as I progress but I will say BYE BYE Band I hated you and I am glad to no longer have you be a part of my life ????

Best of luck to you. Life without the band is wonderful. The sleeve will work for you and you won't regret any of this.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am feeling hopeful

Congratulations and good luck!

I was sleeved on the 11. I'm still not hungry or thirsty. My dr told me to set a timer for every 15 mins or so to remember to sip. I have yet to get in the 60 oz they suggested. Good luck too you keep us posted on your progress. :)
