Hi Robin, and congrats on success with the band, at least you were successful with losing, I only lost 43lbs and gained 23lbs back over a 2year period, and like so many others I had and have acid reflux, I even had my esophagus stretched some years ago due to the reflux, I got my approval and surgery date for my sleeve, I am happy about it but I was just ridiculous and beside myself when I got my approval for the Lapband, I guess it seem like I won! dealing with my insurance and finally get that approval, so do you find the post op diet and instructions are more strict than with the band post instructions, I do hear that post sleeve with band removal is painful and some have a lot of nausea, I think it want be much worst than the band at least I hope, well take care and congrats again on your surgery girl, I am a newbie hear so I will befriend you so I can follow your journey.

I was going to say maybe a possible infection, I have a mild infection as well, I dont have that stabbing feeling, and it seems to be worser after a proten shake! this is day 4 of antibiotics, I'm hope'n it will clear up soon, and I hope that your feeling better, Best wishes and Happy New Year.
