I've been prescribed Tylenol with codeine liquid, I don't really like taking pain meds but I have no choice. I'm walking pretty good, I'm getting some Fluid down, between this Isopure, Popsicles and Water, I should stay pretty hydrated. I'm not hungry at all. Sorry, this post is all over the place but I'm trying to cover everything. Doctor says that he was able to do a good sleeve although I had a lot of scar tissue, he said mine was the worst he's ever seen. I'm happy that I got that band out of me, I just want to be extra successful with the sleeve. I'll check back in a little later.

Glad you are doing okay. Has the pain from last night improved?

That's crazy about the scarring from your band. Hopefully it won't hinder the success of your sleeve. Why did you end up having the band removed initially?

Congrats on your band out and sleeve in :) How long was the surgery? I will have my band out and sleeve done on the 8th of September. I am scared a bit that the scaring is bad too. For how long have you had your band?

Well I hope your pain will be gone soon !!!

Keep us posted!

I'm sorry for the late reply. I had my band since April 2010, the surgery took 3.5 hours, he said mine was the longest and most complex revision. However, he says I still got a beautiful sleeve. Lol

Hello sorry for the late reply. I'm hoping not too, but I seem to be losing a pound a day, I know that will slow down. I had the band removed because of the reflux, regurgi issues on a daily basis. The pain has improved, I haven't needed anymore pain meds since Friday and my surgery was Wednesday morning. I'm trying to get my energy level back, I've been walking and walking trying to get rid of the mild gas too.

So glad you are doing well. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. I will have my surgery on the 19th. I am trying not to worry, but I won't lie it's a bit scary. I just want to do well. I was banded Nov. 2008, and it seems that I could never get it together. I am believing that this is my time and season. I would love to continue to hear from you. Lord knows I need the encouragement.

Hello You're welcome. Good luck to you, I'm almost feeling 100 now. I went to work last night and I felt great. I'm now at 21 lb weight loss since preop, aug 6th, I'm hoping to lose much more.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
