Having Lap-Band to Gastric Sleeve revision

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!

    I'm now 6 days post op and every day I wake I feel better and soooooo happy I did this! Definitely needed my tool back. Minimal pain, I'm off all pain meds. I take Carafate acid reducer and reflux meds and nausea meds on occasion. I haven't gone # 2 and have taken colace so today gonna bring out the big guns (dulcolax) and hopefully poop. ((Sorry tmi))) ???????? backed up my belly is still beyond swollen, but can feel I'm losing weight. I'm sipping water and protein shake by day. At night I sit with the family and have my broth and a 1/4c tea before bed. So complaints here and so happy this is behind me!!! Happy Sleeve day to others and my revision sisters!!! ????????????????????

    It gets better day by day I think first week is hardest but it does get easier! Also we have to remember we had 2 surgeries in one day but I think it's better than doing surgery 2 times!!

    I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and I feel great besides reflux and nausea once in a great while I'm thankful to be a transformed sleever!!

    I'm very happy for you I can't wait. I'm afraid I'll wake up and they will not be able to do both. Please keep me updated in your progress.

    I had my surgery yesterday the 29th. I was freaking out but everything is fine. A bit of gas pain but I feel good.
