Band to sleeve on 8/9/13

[Disneymomma4 26]

My conversion surgery is Friday (8/9) and I'm stressing. I'm so scared for the surgery. I have 5 children ages 6-15. My Lapband sucked, I've had it for 2 years. I just really scared. I was so sick after my band was put in and I'm scared of complications. I know this is normal for everyone. I guess I just need to vent a little.

I'm not having a revision, but my sleeve surgery is that same day and I'm also terrified of complications. Feel free to reach out to me if you need support or want to check in or just want a long distance surgery buddy? I hope everything goes well for you.

I'm almost 3 weeks post op from band revision. Absolutely no complications, however, it was a more painful recovery than lapband 4 yrs ago. It might have something to do with the fact that it took my dr 30 mins to dig my band out of my stomach.

Moving onto soft foods in a week (still on full liquids). You'll do fine. Some people say that it doesn't hurt as much as the band. Mine definitely did.

Good luck!

May I ask if it was because of an increase in weight since the surgery that made it painful ?

I ask because I'm up a good 15lbs from my orig preop date!
