Hi everyone. Thanks for sharing your stories. I am having revision from band to
Sleeve on May 17. My surgery date is Wednesday and I have a 1 night hospital stay then fly home Friday evening. After my band surgery I had a lot of pain and flying home was excruciating and I had to get up constantly to walk on the plane just to
Distract myself.
How many have flown home after surgery and Any advice? I have a prescription for compression hose and have a friend meeting me there but we are on different flight home. I will update here after surgery.
Also I only ever lost 40 lbs with the band and gained 55 back after needed to be defilled. My bmi is 34, hoping to get down to 28.
