Isn't weight loss surgery a big no no in the Military? I know you can't join if you have had it. -
First 3 days after surgery
Florida_Chris replied to love4life's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you !! I am not really measuring per say. I would say I am definitely not gettinting the 64 oz yet. Maybe getting half or a little more. I am not gulping but taking decent sips. I will say that ice pops are my new best friends though. I started back at work today so no ice pops... I think I am going threw withdrawls ! -

First 3 days after surgery
Florida_Chris replied to love4life's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had mine done on the 18th. My surgery was a revision where they removed the band and did the sleeve at one time. I would say the first night I was just achy and sore. Kind of like a mack truck hit me. The meds kept it pretty in check though. Day 2 was pretty much similar but the pain was more annoyance type feeling. Like pulling on the wounds. I came home on day 3 from the hospital and haven't taken pain meds since being there. I have some but never taken them yet. As of today day 5 I would say I hardly have any pain at all. I think most pain came from sudden movement and when I coughed. Stay the course and don't worry so much because even in this short time I have had it I know it will be worth it. Down 12.2 lbs since 5 days ago. -
Lap Band removal/sleeve in 2 separate procedures
Florida_Chris replied to skinny06's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had the same concerns. I was banded in 07 at 389 lbs. Lost weight all the way to 210. I met my wife and lets just say I put on happy weight I got back to 306.7 on my revision day this past monday 4/18. I was lucky and had it done in one surgery. I am 5 days out and down 9 lbs already ! -

Band Revision to sleeve in one surgery.
Florida_Chris replied to jenetts's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
So far so good they successfully did it all in one shot. I am in the hospital and will be for 2 nights. I am just groggy and sore so far. The morphine drip seems to be helping. -
Band Revision to sleeve in one surgery.
Florida_Chris replied to jenetts's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am getting mine done tomorrow morning. Had the band done in 07 and was very successful. I screwed up and got lazy and learned every eating trick to beat the band. I am getting the revision to sleeve in the morning. I am praying it's a 1 and done. I will let you know ! Sent from my SM-G925I using the BariatricPal App -
