After submitting my paperwork, getting denied and appealing, I finally was APPROVED! My surgery is scheduled for June 3rd.

Good luck to all of you! Mine is next week on the 9th... 8 more days!!!

I hope surgery went well all those involved! Healing thoughts!!

Thanks all. I had my surgery 2 days ago! Still sore but almost no pain.

Hi June sleepers!!!! I had my surgery yesterday. Just got home today. I'm so tired. I have a lot of heart burn, and I mean a lot!!!!! Zofran helps both my nausea and my heart burn. My doctor said I had a lot of scar tissue around the tubing of my lap band. He almost did not do my sleeve. One he got to the band though, he saw that he could complete a VSG. I'm glad he was able todo the VSG.

I got sleeved June 3 also. Already down 9 pounds but still in a lot of pain.

Hope your pain level goes way down very quickly, flaco.

I got sleeved on Tuesday. I haven't been nauseous and my pain was minimal the first day. The second day, my doctor encouraged me to walk around and I did. My pain increased especially going into this morning. I was given some pain meds and I doing much better. I will be getting discharged today.

I had my surgery on June 2nd, I had a lot of scar tissue around the port of my band. my surgeon had a hard time getting my stomach to lay flat to to the sleeve but he was able to do it. lots of pain in hospital had to stay an extra day do to dehydration and I just could not urinate on my own. came home yesterday tired, pain mainly where the scar tissue was. using my sore abdominal muscles to get on and off bed, but doing ok need to get 4-6 oz of Fluid in every hour and my pain meds sucks

My surgery was Tuesday and am doing surprisingly well. I was so afraid of how I'd feel. So the largest incision is the one that hurts. Only experienced nausea for 5 min yesterday morning. I find myself lining up my needed fluids each morning and literally sipping all day long to get my fluids in. If I take too much-OUCH!!! But all in all I'm very happy. Good luck to those going in today and this week.

I was sleeved on June 3rd...my surgeon said I had a lot of scar tissue around my port and tubing too. He said at the beginning there was so much that he didn't think he would be able to the VSG. He Said one he got to the lap band there wasn't any scar tissue there. And was able to do the VSG.
