Hi. If anyone is curious I had my surgery Tuesday. As of today I’m doing well. No need for pain meds. My stomach feels still so bloated though. Like I’m pregnant! No big issues with my liquids just not that interested. Its like a job to fit everything in. Passing gas is a challenge but walking around is helpful. Any questions feel free to message me. Im more than happy to share any of it if will help! Good luck to those coming up!

Hi @Thea7777! How are you feeling? How bad was the pain in the immediate recovery at the hospital?

Surgery is tomorrow, started my 3 day liquid diet Saturday, and doing a lot better then I thought I would! I am excited and nervous, but happy it’s finally happening!?

Hi! I’m new here. My surgery is tomorrow, a revision from a 10 year old band to the sleeve. I have to be there at 5:45am. Yikes! I haven’t been nervous but am starting to get really nervous now. I appreciate all of you sharing your stories! It’s helping to calm me down.

Good luck!!!! You will do amazing!! I had the band to sleeve revision as well and it has been the best thing I've ever done other than having my kids and marrying my husband [emoji38][emoji38]
Wishing you a safe surgery and speedy recovery!![emoji253][emoji253]

Thank you so much, DeeDee! I didn’t think I’d be so nervous, especially since it’s not my first surgery. I’m so glad to hear you had the same surgery and it went so well. I want to be healthy for myself, and for my husband and kids, too. Thanks so much for your response!! If you don’t mind my asking, did the port removal incision hurt a lot? My surgeon said it would likely be the most painful aspect.

I’m new my surgery was 9-13-19. I’m freaking out I’m going to do something wrong to mess it up. I had gastric sleeve.

I honestly didn't feel any different compared to the other incision sites. It was glued and it was not particularly painful. A few pinch here and there but nothing intolerable honestly!!

To all my other friends and family in here. I am awaiting joining the losers bench! 730 I go in.

CONGRATS!

Surgery was done yesterday. Still sore but it takes time to get better. I’m biggest thing is knowing if I’m full or hungry it’s hard to tell right now, I hope that gets easier.

Hi All,

Revision from band to bypass was this past Friday 9/13. I was in the hospital until Sunday mid morning. Overall I feel ok. Main issue has been pain and bloating at the top of my stomach. Like right below my sternum. I’ve never really pushed out there much except when I was pregnant and right now I’m looking about 8 months along. Lol?? Fortunately my incisions haven’t hurt much and liquids are going down very well with no nausea or tummy trouble. Wednesday’s are my usual weigh on days, but given how bloated I am, I’m going to wait a few more days, just so I can try and get a somewhat close to actual starting weight.
Hope everyone is doing well!!

Tomorrow is my big day! So nervous because I’m a type 1 diabetic and had to stop my liquid diet due to spilling too many ketones. Fingers crossed all goes well!

I have that same feeling right now! It's weird.
