@alfie. I had my band removed and I was sleeved this past Monday. It feels so great to not have that port in me, it was uncomfortable and stuck out. I feel fantastic no pain. Not nearly as painful as the band. I don't quite understand it because it seems so much more invasive.

Hi there, Thats amazing that you were just sleeved and you are feeling fantastic. I hope I have the same results as you. As my date is drawing nearer (23 days) I am getting very excited but at the same time I can't say I'm nervous but I'm just praying nothing goes wrong. In all the surgeries I ever got I've never really had "pain" so I'm hoping for that now as well.

@@Wtloss Do you feel well enough to go to work

Alfie I almost backed out I was so worried about doing something so drastic at my age. We are the same age. I went to my support group and was encourage and literally at the last moment I went through with it. I stayed on the pre-op just in case I decided it was a go. I didn't feel well the first night. Very nauseated but it went away by the second day. The day I came home I have severe diarrhea but that is almost gone now. Get some coconut Water my Nurse coordinator wanted me to drink it because of all the electrolytes. I work from home and went right back to work. I am not tired I feel so good my husband keeps saying you're doing so much better this time. I literally have no pain. No pain meds. I did have my band removed and then months later the sleeve. The pain you may experience is more from the port removal. I wish you the best. You will do well. What state are you in? I am in CA.

@msbritt. I work from home so basically a desk job. And I worked a few hours the day I came home and pretty much 8 hrs the next day. I did rest a little Saturday but I think I am very lucky, how good I feel. I hope it continues. You will do great. I think because I had band remove earlier and this was just the sleeve is why I feel so well. The band coming out for me was a bit more painful where the port was.

oh great. I have a bunch of coconut waters, small single servings. I am in New York. My doctor does both surgeries together, I guess unless there's an issue where he can't. I've been unfilled for over a month (gaining weight) and also had another recent endoscopy due to Barretts Espohagus scare. It turned out to be a normal endo thankfully. Hopefully, he will be able to do them at the same time.

I know what you mean about continuing on your liquids just in case. When I had the Barretts scare I kept getting my testing done instead of waiting for the results of my latest endo. I'm so glad I did that otherwise I'd be getting a later date for my surgery.

Good for you!!
