Yes! I lost 100lbs and have kept it off for two years but after I got pregnant with my 2 year old I haven't dropped anything and I'm constantly hungry. It's either too full or too loose. And I see my doctor religiously. He thinks it may have slipped

Well today is the day! I go in at 1045 and have surgery at 1200. I'm a little anxious about having band removed and sleeve at once but am ready to get it over with. I will let you guys know how it goes!

I don't do well with pain meds and the anesthesia was hard to get the foggyness. I was also highly naseaus so I didn't want to become dehydrated.

Trying to sip Water and small bites of Jello. Just not hungry or thirsty at all.

Man, does sound like you had a rough couple of days. Hope your feeling better. I have a big fear of throwing up.

Ugh it has been hard. Anytime I swallow a sip of Water it hurts my esophagus real bad. He said there was so much scar tissue around the band that it was causing a lot of restriction and is most likely as to why I had such problems getting food down with band. This time is much more painful than when I had the band done. The jp drain I have makes it even rougher. If I can just get through theses first couple of days I'm sure it'll get better. I'll keep you updated more.

Some drs use it and some dnt. Mine does bc he says that he monitor it there was to become a leak (bile) or infection bc then it would drain out and he could catch it to fix it. Otherwise he said he wouldn't know till it was to late. So even tho is sucks I'd rather be safe.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
