I am so nervous thinking about my surgery. My date is Dec 17 in the late afternoon. Although I had the lapband, I am now doing the sleeve. I can remember the pain I was in. I soo hungry now. Only cause I know I am restricted from it. Tomorrow starts my clear liquid, and on Tuesday it's going be crucial, nothing to eat or drink and my surgery is scheduled for 3:45 in the pm hoy boy, just want right to be waking up in recovery.

No, just struggling with which surgery I was going to do..I was going todo the lap band, but I'm looking at the sleeve! What was wrong with your lap band?

Good luck........ I was sleeved on 11/20 and I thought it was going to be painful but honestly it wasn't, well at least to me it wasn't... Felt like a period... The only issue first couple of days was the gas pains...... I was burping every chance I could get.......

Divadee the lapband was fine at first lost 60 pounds and that was it. The standstill was crucial as well as the vomiting. I eventually gained it all back because I got tired of getting fills. I think it complicated my life more than help, especially not eating and your still gaining, because you can only eat the wrong thing. I had no problem keeping junk food down, and that's what I turned to. Go for the sleeve.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
