Someone please tell me it gets easier! I'm still in pain. Monday was awful. Today I'm a little better but sheww I had no idea it would be like this! They removed my band and did the sleeve. I'm juat ready to be back to normal...no swelling....and able drink more than sips!

Yup. First week sucks . But then you'll jump on scale and maybe, wasn't so bad....

I’m lap band to sleeve Dec 6...making me nervous

I have no regrets! However, I didn't know it would be so painful. I expected some yes...but the air/gas trapped was awful!

The pain will be a fleeting memory a week from now. Grunt through it.

The more interesting questions will come in a week or two...

first month for me was challenging. YES, it does get better! I'm 3 months tomorrow and boy life is GOOD! no regrets here. Hang in there. Everyday seems like eternity but then starts to fly by .....

Thank you! I'm really trying and following the "rules". But I'm ready to get things back to normal or my new normal!
