my sleeve has eroded...no weight loss...i was gaining weight....now when ever I bend down to do some work... get slight pain for some time..

gong to the doc tomorrow...he said he will try for sleeve while removing the band...if possible...otherwise wait for few months,,,

quite anxious..

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.

That's so exciting. The 13th will be here before you know it. Good luck!

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.

So Hopeful, how ya feeling these days?

That's so exciting. The 13th will be here before you know it. Good luck!

Thanks!

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.

Domiki how are you doing?

I'm doing well, thanks. Moving along slowly but surely. Follow my blogs listed under MissionSlimpossible! I try to post day to day recovery & info.

Keep in touch & let me know how you are doing too!
