Good luck on the 24th. My band removal / sleeve revision will be this Thursday. I hope to blog about it before & right after. Goal is to help with my recovery & help others as they go through this journey as well.

Hi friends, I met the doc and my surgery is on 24th jan...He said 99.9 % he will do the revision from band to sleeve at one time.

I also met two patients who had the sleeve..both recovered very fast...but liquids were very important in the first stage.

So now I am confident of the operation...and I am going to try my best .....

wish me luck.

Dominick hope you are doing well!!

I wish I could explain the difference I have without the band! I am so happy it's out.

I can feel a difference even with the sips that we have take.

I'm 9 days out and very excited about the future.

Good luck tomorrow Dominki!

I am having the sleeve on 2/13. I was banded in 2009 and had it removed in 2013. My surgeon recommended the sleeve back when he removed my band but I just wasn't ready. I am glad he didn't push me and let me come to the decision on my own. Good luck on Friday! Please let us know how you do.

Band to sleeve revisions in one surgery are quite common and very successful. Trust your surgeons final decision .. They know what's best for the patient. If by chance they decide not to do your sleeve it's for a very good reason... Your safety.

hi bella, I was so worried about weakness....but surprisingly I am fine...today is the 6th day...moving around...walking,..having fluids...sleep is a problem...i guess body is in shock...but I keep the music on...

I went to office twice yesterday for some time.

i live in India...we have domestic help here...so things are easy...and I have made up my mind to be strong anf fit soon.

I took motivation from my cousin who had blood cancer....she had so many chemos...now her tests are normal.a brave girl much younger than me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
