Ahh well things havent gone as smoothly as i would of liked... I do still have the same band. I had a massive slip and my doctor had to cut through alot of stomach muscle to umm I guess untangle the band. He then had to pull the slip back throug and repostion it, hence the extra pain and its taking so much longer to settle than last time. I know its only day 5 I guess I am terribly impatient amd emotional as the assault leading to the slip wasnt my fault. I am terribly glad I still have my band and extremely grateful for my amazing surgeon and anethatist.

thank you all for the support im pretty cranky and fed up, Wish I could punch a boxing bag!!!!!!!!

Ky, so glad you checked in! That does sound like a bad slip! Thank God you still have your band!

Hmmm, maybe the boxing bag is a thought for a new workout when you're up and about and able to do vigorous activity again! Something to think about! Would be great exercise for both body and mind.

I'm sorry this round of surgery laid you so low. I hope you've got some good pain meds. I'm assuming you have to go through the whole post-op diet regime again?

Hang in there. Things WILL get better and you still HAVE your band!

Take care!

Hiya Heartfire,

thanks so much hun.

I am feeling more positive each morning I wake. I need to go to the doc this morning as 3 of my wounds are weeping but I have the best GP.

I have started the whole liquid mushy faze again, The one great thing is that my surgeon basically said that I know what I can and can't eat to do the best for my band so im on a diet between mushies and liquid. Im not really hungry. I think im a bit sore to be hungry. I'm not to worried I went 6 weeks before the band not eating much..I am just elated I still have my friend!!

I call it Kekona it means second born in Hawaiian and I guess thats how i will feel in a few days!!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
