Hi I'm having my band removed on April 7th and getting the sleeve. Anyone out there had the same thing and could tell me what to expect? I've been banded for almost 3 years and am wondering how much more painful it will all be since I'm having more than just the sleeve done. I'm ready for whatever is to come just would like to know what the expect. Thanks!

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

That's the thing with the sleeve that I like no more fills adjusting the band too loose too tight!!????????

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.

Wow, so sorry you're having so much pain. I imagine that I'm going to be in the same boat. I vomited 7 times tonight after eating a few bites of baked fish and steamed broccoli. I'm worried about what he's gonna find . Wishing you comfort and quick healing. Proud of you!
