@emleyrose- do not be discouraged. Everyday is an opportunity to make a new start. You will find your way because you want to. Stress is a slippery slope that leads to depression and other undesirable consequences. Find a local support group and go. Face to face encouragement is so so important. Focus on the positive things and make your changes slowly and day by day. You did it before and you're strong enough to do it again!! From-amyjo316

Had my conversion on 3/30 and am down 13 lbs since. Dr was please with that and so was I! I'm being very strict following the diet/water plan. Not hungry at all so literally set alarms on my phone to remind me to consume! I am able to take most of my supplements from before due to their small size but am still looking for a good multi. I have the MTHFR gene mutation and can't take folic acid so that's been the problem. I'll find one though. Went back to work 5 days post op with no problems and was just released to work out. My band was a total failure and I'm super excited about my progress so far! Good luck to you as well! From-amyjo316

I had revision to sleeve on the 30th as well! One night in the hospital and they took my drain out before I left. My surgeon said that is his preference and I was ok with that. As for the removal it didn't hurt necessarily but did surprise me. Felt it come out and it was longer than I realized. After a sharp intake of breath, due to the foreign feeling, I was fine. Hope your removal goes well! From-amyjo316
