I was thinking about testing the liquid diet a week before I need to. Did you start your yet?

Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum and planning to have revision from lap band to sleeve.

Lap band experience was not good a waist of insurance money.

Is a month wait for approval the usual weight time?

I had a lap band in 2007 and had it removed within 2 years because I couldn’t keep any food down (the hole closed off) and I had pre-Barrett’s esophagitis. I’m getting sleeve on the 7th! Best wishes on your surgery.

Hey! How did it go? Girl, I am sooo excited, starting the pre op diet tomorrow (not looking forward it but definitely worth the sacrifice)

How is everyone doing, I am 12 days post op, feeling good, getting the hang of not drinking immediately after eating, and down 37 lbs from highest weight. If I hadn’t worn jean shorts and left two middle incisions uncovered things would be even better. I irritated those two incisions and have to use triple antibiotic and keep them covered for a week. I will Definately cover them from now on!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
