Well, it's official, I'm scheduled for my revision from sleeve to MGB on 4/23 and I'm also officially scared to death !! I really hope I'm doing the right thing.

Ps a little reading http://www.bariatricnews.net/?q=news/11847/surgeon-hails-benefits-mini-bypass-procedure

Oh wow, sorry to hear that, if anything it should confirm that you are making the right decision to have it removed! Good luck and hope you start feeling better soon !

Thanks for the link, I actually just read that yesterday in some last minute obsessive searching for anything to calm my nerves ! lol

Everything was great ! Gas pain and pain from the drain was the worst but as of today I feel good except occasionally moving wrong and feeling pulling in the incisions. I'm on Clear liquids for a week and they are going down well. I'm still resting for the most part mixed in with some laundry, dishes, light cleaning ect but I go back to work tomorrow.

Great to see you the other side . BUT BACK TO WORK TOMORROW? DId your surgeon OK that. Most folks I know take minimum 4 weeks off. Please take good care of yourself and your new WL tool.

Just don't over do it! Good luck!! Can't wait to hear about the great results!

4 weeks! Lol that's crazy, I would go nuts ! Remember this isn't my first surgery, I had lapband on a Friday and went back Monday, I had my band to sleeve revision on a Friday and went back Tuesday. I'm not over doing it, I work at a desk and believe me, I'm doing great ! I never understood how anyone could need more than a week at absolute max !

RESPECT! With one caveat, be careful please.

I had my sleeve done on a Wed and was back to work the following Tues. The Dr said I wouldn't feel like going, he was right. But...once I was up and walking, I actually felt better than just sitting at home and trying to walk there. One day I was absolutely wiped out...but no lifting in my job, I felt great going back.
