I too am a band to rny revision. I don't have a surgery date yet but hopefully soon! I think I'll take my pillow, cell and charger, kindle (just incase) Chapstick seems to be something I see ppl on here say to take all the time, socks with grippers or slide on house shoes for walking in hospital, possibly a pedometer just to track my movements for myself and, for me, pictures of my baby girl and husband. Ill send some prayers out for you! Looking forward to hearing about ur surgery, recovery and seeing u on the losers bench! Peace.

Drink lots of Water and pick up stool softeners. One of the hardest things to do after was "use it". Lol. Best wishes!

I just had my revision on 5/2/2013! So far so good. I was in the hospital from 5/2-5/5. I slept thru most of my stay because of the pain meds! Definitely take some chap stick, deodorant, powder if you use it. WARM SOCKS! Pack lightly you won't need much! Be prepared to walk the first night of surgery. Good Luck

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
