Ya I'm gonna grocery shop tomorrow and stick it in my leggings or sweats

I had lap band to sleeve on Wed 3/30 and went home with a drain, it gets removed on Tuesday and the idea of it coming out freaks me out! Do they just pull it out? I feel like I can't do anything with it hanging off of me.

Now can you give examples of strained cream soups?

So i had my lap band removed after 5 years, too many issues. My surgeon removed all the scar tissue, (90 minutes to do that) and got sleeved. It's been so long I forgot how it feels. Finally home after one night in the hospital. Starting on liquids and have a drainage tube! So far so good! I would appreciate and info or tips from anyone. Also if anyone had a drainage tube can you prepare me for how it will feel when it comes out? Thanks!!!! I'm looking forward to this new journey! [emoji4]

Lap band 2011 and had it removed and got the sleeve on 3/30/16. So much scar tissue it took 90 minutes to remove it all and then she proceeded with sleeve and endoscopy. I'm ok just tired and sore. I'm glad she did it all in one day. She told me recovery would be from 2-4 weeks and I'm ok with that

Sleep on your left side, I did the immediately after surgery on Wed and I had no issues with gas pains

Suzyquzy how was it when your drain was removed? I have one too and is it gonna hurt when it's taken out. Sleeved on the 30th

Having surgery Wednesday, is it that bad to have some caffeine tonight as I'm driving long distance home after 10 pm! I'm struggling to stay awake!

MichelleStevens, I'm getting band to sleeve on Wed and all my issues sound similar to u, I'm going in at 190 and my heaviest was 250! I'm nervous and scared but I'm tired of having issues and not being able to just grab water n drink it

Ok my surgery is getting closer! My doc told me 1-2 days in hospital and send home with drainage tubes. Anyone give me some info on the tubes and are they discreet and do you think I will be up to a Dodger game 16 days later! Also bummed I can't do my 10k in May, she told me too soon and chance of dehydration! So bummed as its a RunDisney event! And info and advice greatly appreciated!

What do u mean by this?

So I finally got the call I been waiting for over a month! I will be getting my band removed (2/2011) and getting a gastric sleeve. I have had too many issues and can't get my band any tighter because when I do I can't literally even drink a sip of water. Other issues as well but I'm excited and would love any info on anyone who has done this and what is recovery time for this since my surgeon told me it will be longer and I also will have drainage tubes as well. I have a 10k scheduled for May 7 and my surgery is March 30th. Thanks

Me! Atascadero! I see Dr. Bounoa, will be getting a band to sleeve revision next month

March 30, band to sleeve revision

I'm waiting for approval from lap band to sleeve with all same issues as you but my bmi is 32, I also heard they won't cover unless it's 35! I'm praying they will approve

2goldengirl Have you heard of insurance covering a revision from lap band to sleeve due to too many issues even with bmi being 32 not 35

I have a dilated esophagus and last week had half a cc put in and guess what, coughing and reflux and throwing it back up at night. I'm gonna have the fluid removed next week from band but I just can't get my band any tighter, I can't handle it and will prolly have to have it removed and go another route. I am 4 years out and 75 lbs lighter. Makes me sad I am also very sensitive and can't enjoy any food at all, not even tiny bites or drinks, always have to run to bathroom. All the info helps

So I was too tight and had a total of 4 cc taken out and now have 3 cc left. I feel no restriction and now I get bloated and gas so easily! Any thing to help or take! It's killer! Hope to get adjusted next month cuz I feel gross and I think I have gained!

Yes upper GI was done and determined that so another one tomorrow! Hope I get back on track! I feel so depressed and ugly! Worked hard these last four years to be a size 8 and was only 20 lbs from goal

This happened to me! I was too tight and having GERD so bad so she took out 4cc in June and i gained almost 30 lbs, went in last Friday and told I can't be filled till I have another upper GI tomorrow to see how my esophagus looks, it was very big wide stretched out! And if it is still the same then I have to look into other options, this has made me very sad mad and depressed, none of my size 8 jeans fit and my weight came on in different places! I'm praying tomorrow 8/13 I can be filled! I was 172 and now at 198! I did try to watch what I ate and go to gym but to no avail!

Yup sure did and 17 lbs so I'm on it now strict dieting and gym! I will not go back to my old ways

What is the bloating from an ms I think I have gained around 10 lbs and I feel gross! I go back in 4 weeks

Gonna keep this short, surgery in 2011, 20 lbs to goal, working out every day with s trainer or doing boot camp, supposed to eat 1300 calories a day according to myfitness pal but too hard as I can't eat a lot of certain food and due to lap band, noticed I'm gaining weight, at next appt do I have my surgeon loosen my band so I can eat more since I'm working out or what! I'm so confused!
