I know there are several of us on the same day, so I thought I would start a thread for us to keep in touch as we go through the process.

I'm having surgery in Dallas. On day 2 of preop diet. So far, so good. No issues to report.

Check in here if you are scheduled for 9/8! :)

Surgery went great. Very sleepy right now.

In recover. The gas pain is awful

Agreed gas pain sucks I felt like I was having a heart attack. Once I got up and walking was much better.

On my way home

Just having dinner also taking walks. The only thing that hurts is gas in upper abdomen. The posicle tastes awesome! Surgery was around 1pm today!

So far so good on this end. I am pretty drowsy though

Forgot one thing, in recovery i was finding it very hard to beathe. It was kind of awful.

Did anyone else have that problem during recovery?

Congrats to all of you!!!??

My band to sleeve revision was successful.

The band had not done (even after 10 years) too much damage nor scaring, thank god!! The surgery was only 2:30 hrs.

No pain so I did not have to take any pain meds till this morning. But the nausea was horrible. I actually had to vomit twice yesterday and I still feel sick.

But other than that I am fine.

We did it yeeeaaah!!!

Today I am very sore and have gas pains still. Other than that I feel great and I am ready to go home.

Sorry for the late reply, surgery went great, not much pain or gas. Just pressure in my rib cage from the drain, othwr than that I havebeen up walking everytime I can, just had a shower and new bandages put on, and then a 10am leak test so far so good feeling great!!!

Surgery was yesterday afternoon, all went well. I only needed 4 incisions, so that's good!

But last night was rough! Gas pain was horrible in my chest, and nausea was awful, threw up a lot.

Feeling a bit better this morning, thank God. Just did barium swallow test, so now trying to sip some liquids.

We did it! Now let's get to the good part! :-)

How has drinking gone for y'all?

I've got my little cups of liquid in front of me, but not enjoying it. I'm trying to take little sips, but it's still pretty uncomfortable.

Drinking has been a little rough. I have to remember to take small sips. Other than that and being sore I am well.

Yesterday I felt sick even from sipping water. Today I already had two cups of chicken broth, one for lunch and one for dinner. That was like heaven after 3 weeks of sweet protein shakes. Only the liquid meds make me a bit sick.

Rough day today. Lot of pain.

Last night sucked to say the least. So much pain. No nausea tho thank goodness. Today I sipped SLOW and seemed to be ok but am not getting near enough Protein or Water so dehydrated. Pain is a little better today but still sucks

Tomorrow is another day and I hope we all start feeling better and are able to get into a routine with protein water meds and walking

Good luck......we got this ????
