I'm having band to sleeve revision in Nashville on Monday. How was the recovery?

Wow. Nice to see a thread with locals. I'm in Nashville. I had the sleeve 5 weeks ago and everything went great. I am officially back in solid food.... soft solids, but I'm chewing again. Woo who!!!! The best info I got from this sight pre- op was to be prepared for the gas. I really had no pain except the gas and walking and gas x strips really helped. I know you are all excited, so congrats!!! This is still really new for me but I am so happy I did it. Wish I had been ready 10 years ago.

I'm in East TN and having my surgery on 7/1. Let us know when you get your date and keep us posted on your journey. I just started my pre-op diet on Tuesday and I think I was more scared of it than the surgery (I just didn't think I could do it). It's actually not been too bad. I went ahead and prepped freezer meals for my husband and son before I had to start the pre-op so I wouldn't feel like I had to cook anything I couldn't eat!!! LOL! I'm sure that has helped.

It is def awesome to find some people close to me....i hope everyone is doing well
