Goodbye lapband, hello sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Had my revision surgery this morning and now recovering. Managed to go for a small walk his evening which was amazing!

Will have a swallow test in the morning and if no leaks I get to start sipping Water. I have never been anticipating a drink of water like I am right now!

Pain is minimal, treating with Tylenol suppositories. I can have morphine if it gets bad but it reat hasn't been bad at all.

Good luck everyone with your journeys!!

I had my band removed and sleeved at 7am this morning.

Converted to a sleeve.

The knotted/ nauseus feeling from the band was gone almost instantly.

My 2 cents- if you are feeling generally like crap, like I was the last 2 years

Get the band out!

I'm drinking broth and eating Jello

It took nearly 2 hours but I for it down.

Good luck to you !

      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! 😞
