Hi y'all! I'm so happy I remembered this forum. I was banded back in 2009, I have had pretty good success until the last 6-8 months. I would go days without even keeping water down then one day I could eat anything but back to nothing the next day. I finally was miserable enough to get a consult and my band had slipped. I was unfilled in November when the dr tried to do an egd and couldn't even get the scoop through. Since then I've gained about 20lbs, I knew I would gain some weight going from throwing everything up to actually eating. Luckily my insurance has approved my revision and I have surgery scheduled Tuesday. My grandmother passed away last night and it looks like the funeral is going to be on Thursday. My question is how was your pain 2 days postop? My mom is the only one that knows I'm having surgery and doesn't want me to reschedule since it took so long to get in. I know the added stress of the funeral isn't going to help but I have to be there. Any advice? I'm so ready for the revision and to begin my weight loss journey again. I only have about 35lbs to hit my goal, praying this works.

I had sleeve and minimal pain. Some others different. The main thing is taking it slowly. I had no energy. Stayed one night in hospital. I'd go with it. Too hard to reschedule and if you take care and don't overdo, I think you can do it.

Definitely take it easy -- don't stand in a receiving line or anything like that. You may want to have a pre-planned exit strategy in case you get overwhelmed with fatigue or nausea -- someone who knows and can drop everything to drive you home. I think that you having to use your exit strategy is a small chance, but knowing you have the option might ease your mind and make it less stressful for you. I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother.

No way! could I have attended a funeral two days post-op. And I didn't have any complications or a rough time.

Sorry about your grandmother's passing and the timing of all this.

Well the Drs office called to reschedule my surgery from tomorrow (Tuesday) to Wednesday. With the funeral on Thursday I knew there would be absolutely no way to make it since I would be released on Thursday from the hospital. Luckily they can get me in next week! So it all worked out. Now I can focus on being with family and getting ready for surgery next week. What a relief.

So sorry for your loss. Having very similar issue. Did you have to do a diet trial before conversion

No my insurance didn't require a diet trial. Thank goodness, are you having to do one?
