Doing really well, weight loss is slow, guess I just have to be patient.
Feeling really well no issues with anything apart from a little constipation. 1 month out 6 kg down. All bloods cane back today perfect, been using the patches.
Best of luck for tomorrow, will be thinking of you. Update when you can :)


I had the mini done on 3/1/18. I don’t know about my weight losses yet though. I’m still retaining so much fluid from the the IV’s and travel that my legs and feet are so full of fluid. I’m not going to weigh until next week.

Hello everyone I’m sorry I haven’t posted much I had my surgery March 9th and unfortunately after surgery about a leak was found and repaired immediately less 24 hours after surgery I’m covering and its taking much longer then I expected due to my leak a sequela of it I developed a abscess where the repair was so that will be drained Wednesday. Due to all of this I’m just overwhelmed. I’ve wanted to update but I’m just not up to much lately.

Hi!

I’m 4 days post op and feeling marvellous so far. Home and happy :)

I’m struggling a bit to get enough fluid in but figure this is bruising/swelling and will ease by itself. Mission hydration is the important thing right now.

How’s everyone doing now?

How are you doing.I am considering getting the mgb as a revision surgery to the sleeve. Who was your doctor . And if you are doing better now how much weight have you loss.

Hi Miss Apple, I’m still feeling a bit delicate. Overdid it a couple of days ago and am now paying with some back pain. Otherwise getting there.

I’m in the UK so I travelled to Belgium to see Christian De Bruyne. It was cheaper and he appears to have more experience than the UK surgeons do. I’m pleased so far the proof is definitely in the long term I think.

Biggest regret for me is that i left it four years from getting my band out to act. I was only ever going to end up back at my pre band weight. I should have done this years ago!

What’s making you consider a revision?
