I had the lapband for two years and just had it removed and the sleeve done 6 days ago. The lapband worked for me for 7 months until I got acid reflux and it had to be emptied and we could never get it full without reflux again. Then a few months ago it slipped so I decided to revise to the sleeve. So far I have no pain and no hunger;) hoping for a great journey with the sleeve;)

Thanks! I will be patient and wait a few weeks to see how solids do;) -
And it seems like I can drink more than 12 ounces. Isn't my stomach smaller than that???

Has anyone tried the Rogaine products for the hair loss?
ShellyBellyIowa replied to fee139's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just what Veronica said..... It is common for hair loss with surgery and weight loss. It lasts two to three months and then it is done and grows back;) -
Even though I am down 60 pounds in 6 months, I am posting pics of my 50 pound mark as that is half way! I went from a size 24 to 18 and I feel great! I love my band!

You will look back in a few months and love your decision and wish you'd have done it sooner;). It won't always be smooth sailing, but it will get better and be so worth it;) -

Very normal right after surgery. Give it some time and you will start to see te scale moving again;) -
I am tight in the mornings so I stick to protein shakes or mushiness and get very full quickly. It is awesome and a great thing!

I started having some reflux and they took a little fluid out and it went away. My doc said the gallbladder can cause symptoms like this too.

I had a slight infill after being too full and it put me in the green zone! -
Being scared is so normal. You will look back after the surgery and wonder why you were so scared. My only regret is I wish I would have had the surgery years ago!!!!
