I just had my revision from band to sleeve, I did not have a slip band that I know of. I have lost 11 lbs since surgery on Nov 5, so there is hope after the band!

Hang in there! Walk, drink , sleep and most importantly take good pain meds!

I am cleared for baths, pool, hot tube, etc 15 days after surgery. I am not from Missouri.

Another band to sleeve HAPPY Wilhelmy patient here! Hi guys! nice to see this thread about my doc. I just got back, feeling very well and even better now that I am over my initial clear liquid diet.

I was told to take them the morning of surgery with a little sip of Water but had to take other meds the night before surgery.

Are you allowed to eat so soon? I cannot eat refried Beans until about 3 weeks from surgery. I hear some doctors are more lenient but 6 days sounds very early to me.

I was given the instructions to worry mostly about preventing dehydration during the first couple of weeks and have worked at it daily. I did not care for the Isopure either and have stuck to unjury. I just had surgery on the 5th and what works for me is jotting down every ounce I drink. Surprisingly I drink less than it thought I did, the numbers don't lie. I add different flavors to Water mostly crystal light and Propel, I even mixed a little bit of gatorade for a few days but that did not work out very well either. I am feeling pretty good and have not experienced any real pain. Took pain medication for the first 5 days and have not needed it since. I hope you feel better soon.
