My surgery was performed on March 12 today is May 7 and I am down almost 30 pounds and I have any complication. I feel great and I'm back to work and I'm down from a size 18-20 to a size 14. I am so happy I had the surgery and I have no regrets I feel awesome I'm off my blood pressure medication and my sleep apnea is minimal.

. My snoring is minimal my husband said I don't snore at all so far. I am resting good and when I wake up in the morning I'm not tired anymore so for that alone I know my sleep apnea is under control

Hey great news keep up the good works. Keeping loosing and then u will be completely off blood pressure meds.

Okay post 2 days revision I weigh in at 246 I will keep u posted on my journey. My throat is very sore and I was only able to consume about 2 ounce of liquids today it feels sort of strange when it hit my stomach it's cramps a little and it stops. Will this get better? And was anyone sent home with a plastic bag that is draining fluid time one week post surgery?

Trust me going from the band to the sleeve was the best thing I ever did, so far I have not had any complication at all from the surgery just a sore throat. I am 12 days post op. Just relax and follow the instruction of your doctor. I must say drinking 64 oz of liquid will be hard I still have problems with that getting down 8-16 oz. I am down 10 pounds and the doctor took me off my blood pressure medication (GREAT). Stay focus and u will be fine. Keep me posted on your journey in April did they give you the exact date yet? Best of luck and u will do well.

Revision to what in April? Best of luck to you also.

I had the Lap Band in 2011 not much success but I am please with the outcome of the sleeve so far.

Hey family my surgery was reschedule to this Monday Jan 27 I am so excited but very scared. Any words of encouragement or wisdom or the do's and don't post surgery? What to expect and the norm? Help

Hello Chunky_Dunk I had my surgery on March 12 down 10 pounds and doing fine. I was sent home with a drainage bag and that bother me post first week they removed it and I started fish today 3/23/14. Drinking the Water is the problem I can not get enough in. I am only at maybe 8-10 oz a day. Any suggestion.

I get the weird cramping as well. Kind of like a big bubble that forms in my stomach every time I swallow something a little too much. I personally didn't have a drain, but it is very common to have one after surgery. Best of luck! . Hello kb88 today I am 2 weeks post surgery and I am 10 pounds down feeling better the bag was taken out on the March 18 and the removing of the bag hurt really bad. I have to remember to chew my food very fine. I was surprise that my stomach only can hold 3oz of egg white. This week I will head to the gym but I realize that I have to pace myself. I have one problem and that is consuming 64 oz of Water I am not even at 16 yet is that bad?
