Hello today is the big day .

I am getting a revision from the lap band to the sleeve , I go in at 9:30 am .

I had the band put in twice the first time I contracted h pilorie or what ever it was which caused a lot of vomiting and acid . Which Inturn caused the band to bend the stomach. So they took it out but before they did I lost a 100 pounds I was 430 when I had the band drop to 330 .

Then they put it in again but just maintained it . But then I started having problems , they now are saying it is bending the stomach and some of the Fluid is missing .so now today I will get the sleeve I gained 20 pounds unfortunately .so I am up to 350 ..looking forward for the new lifestyle and hopefully no more constant hunger pains that never seem to get satisfied .

Nerves are normal...l would be more nervous for someone who felt like this is going to be a cake walk. I hope all is well and you're on to recovery.

Well I went to my dr appointment on tue,

May 30 I was 357 for surgery and tue the 17 I was down to 328 every thing looks good he said . The dr feel the heartburn is from the conspation and once I get regular it will go away ..

Told the dr I was taxing both nexium and Pepcid both seem to clear it up the heart burn .

      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! 😞
