I had my band put in back in 2010 and had great success. I went from 310 to 210 in about 2 years. Got pregnant in 2013 , had band unfilled. A lot of morning sickness and vomiting and I was so tight I couldn't swallow Water. I gained a lot of weight. I was back at 300 when DD was born. And 2 years later I am at 290. I've had my band re-filled, and unfilled a couple of times. I'm just so tight all of the time. It's completely empty and it sucks. I throw up in my sleep. So... It's comin out on 11/24 with bypass on 12/29. We met our deductible so I was hoping to get both done this year while they're fully covered. I just got my dates yesterday. I'm a bit nervous about recovery with a 2 year old at home. Bummed to miss thanksgiving (I know....). And excited as hell to drop this fu$&?!g weight and be able to play on the floor with my little girl!

If you've had the removal... What was recovery like? I sit and talk in a microphone for work so hoping to be back ASAP.

Throwing up in your sleep must be horrible! Hope things improve quickly with your surgery. Good luck!

Hey! I just logged in to ask the exact same thing! Id love to hear how others did with recovery after lap band removal??? I had my band out 9 days ago, no complications just a simple removal.....but Im still do tired! I threw up for about 24 hrs after removal and slept on and off for days! Though I turned the corner a few days ago but I feel horrible again today :( I saw my doc yesterday for a follow up, he said everything looked great but why do I feel like this? Gosh Id perrish if I had to look after a 2 yr old this week! My bypass will be the first of next year.....no date yet.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
