CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS

[AmyD102 95]

Had my band to sleeve revision yesterday, it was successful! I am officially sleeved! Yesterday was pretty rough, only got out of bed once, feeling much better today. Am having my "breakfast" as I type this. One ounce diet cranberry and one ounce berry Isopure. So far so good! Getting my catheter out in an hour and then hopefully it will be easier to get around!

So happy for you. I have my band to sleeve revision next Tuesday. What were your issues with the band? Did they do the revision all in one surgery or did theybremove your band previously? Im hoping it all gets done in one surgery. He said he can but you never know once they get in there. NERVOUS!!!! Glad you arent in pain!

I had it all in one surgery as well. That was my biggest worry, having to have 2 surgeries, but my surgeon said everything went perfect, no problems and not much scar tissue. I had weight regain with the band, I was also throwing up a lot and having a lot of pain when eating, all this with my band being empty. I'm so glad i made this choice!

The surgery took about 2 hours, when I woke up the first thing I asked was if I was sleeved and the nurse gave me thumbs up. Feeling so much better today, been walking around and eating ice chips. Minimal pain. All in all I'm feeling really good so far! Fingers crossed it will be the same for you

Found out today that I have a 2 day liquid diet, so I guess I should feel pretty lucky!

Also July 26th. It does seem like there are a lot of us. I am in the middle of my 2 week liquid diet. Mine is pretty strict and the food I had to get is awful, so I am really looking forward to surgery just to stop eating lol. Good luck to all of you!

I started a thread for all us July 26ers if u want to check that out.

keep up the good work team july! I've moved on to purees/soft foods and so far I tried ricotta and cottage cheeses. Went down nice, but I felt so full after 2 oz of the cottage cheese. It's nuts!

Hi there.

Had my surgery on 7/13. It was painful, but I was up and feeling better that evening. Unfortunately, Aunt Flo came to pay a visit during the surgery.

The hardest for me is still getting in all my fluids and Protein. I've been off pain meds since I left the hospital, and am back at work today for the first time.

Me too!!

My surgery is this coming Friday.

How is work going? I have a desk job and plan to return to work 6 days after surgery just like you. Some people act like that is way too soon. How are you feeling?

I've tried tuna because it sounded so good but it felt like a brick. Maybe it wasn't puréed enough??

I have a desk job, too. It's been fine. Just using my timer to drink and eat.
