Sleeved 8/7, band out too!!! Was 177 the date of surgery now I'm 8 days post and now 165. What sucks is that this is only water weight I am losing... Not complaining !!!

Question ladies, how much can we drink every 10 min? I was sleeve 8/7

5 day post-op, you'll probably think I'm crazy but I have a baby tsp of scramble eggs yesterday. Then all my family got together and they ordered pizza for the kids. I got a lil slice and would chew the heck out of it, then spit it out!!! Pizza never tastes so good. I'm done with the protien drinks and jello does anyone know what would happen if we did eat a piece of food down our throats? Good luck

I agree with every one else. I was sleeved on tue aug 7, and have been taking 1 oz of protien at a time.. I am camping in bakersfield at 108 degrees . Dumbass!!! Anyways just drink 1-2 oz every 20 min u should be ok. The doctor told me protien and vitamins don't really count the first week. What's important right now is staying hydrated. U can do it... I was regretting it yesterday thinking really negative. The truth is I'm just wanting to eat real food now.. good luck!!

I'm glad they gave u a date... Im in pain right now but am so glad I have a lil stomache . Should be going home by 1 today. Good luck. I'm not sure if I should still go camping this weekend...

Surgery went well. Removed band and got sleeved...yay!!!!

6 year with the band huh? I'm having my band removed tomorrow after 7 years and my doctor said he won't do the sleeve if I have scar tissue... Was that an issue for ur doctor?

I'm glad u don't have to wait that long to get sleeved. How long did u have the band in? I had my for 7 years Nd my dr told me I have to wait one year. He also said he can't remove any scar tissue, bc it has to heal on its own. It's tricky bc he hasnt even seen how much scar tissue I have to even start with. I guess that's how kaiser does it?

My lap and was placed October 2007 and will be removed tuesday this week... I was 228 and went down to 138 now with out any fluid in the band I'm 180 I feel like such a loser.. If I don't get the sleeve I really have to watch what I put in my mouth... I don't want to b 228 ever!!!

Southern Cali?

Four months is not too bad, my doctor told me to wait one year. I'm having the band removed in Tuesday. I'll keep u posted if he was able to do the sleeve.. Keeping my fingers crossed. If not I have some serious dieting, non of my clothes fit me right now.. From 138 to 180 now I can't stop eating...

Wow, you guys are lucky.. I'm having my band removed this Tuesday an mostlikly dr won't be able to do sleeve due to scar tissue... I've had my band for 7 years.. Good luck to u

Thanks , I think I'm going to sleep at my aunts house for those 2 nights. She lives about 30 min away from the camping area.

I'm going to ask how long I'm supposed to have the drains in? I live in Los Angeles about 1 hour driving to go camp grounds. My biggest worry is the diarrhea , they say you get it until about 2-3 weeks ?

Thanks, sleeping in a tent and on airbed. I'm just going to make sure I have my protien drinks and water.

Thank you everyone!!! My surgery is scheduled for aug 7th and our camping trip is aug 10-12... Everyone is telling me to reschedule my surgery, but I don't want to do that. I would rather reschedule camping but everyone already got those days off work and made reservations @camp ground. I had lapband placed 5 years ago and dr Zane is going to try to remove it and do the sleeve. Hopefully I don't have to much scar tissue around the band, or else he told me to wait one year.
