TAKE PICTURES... 1 day before surgery vs. 11 days out. Who knew this is what a 15 lbs weight loss looked like. Sometimes seeing is believing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

11 days out... 15 lbs!!!! Almost exactly how much weight I lost with the band in ONE YEAR!!!! Cannot wait to really get my "fitness" going... I know seeing my efforts finally pay off will make all the difference!!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I'm a week out and still on full liquids. I can feel a tightening and small bit of pain at the top. I think it's scar tissue, especially since I had the band removed. I'm wondering how long it took anyone to feel a bit more healed from that. Just curious? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Not long, 4 days post op, and first time in really feeling sick. I have meds but I pass out all day and would rather not. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I'm on my 3rd day postop, and I'd say I can get down 8oz of carnation sf Breakfast (which was given to me by dr) if I'm lucky. Just not interested and it can hurt Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Going from lapband to sleeve on the 25th of May. Major emotional twists with this one. The band was a complete disappointment, at least for me. However since being unfilled, I have only gained 5lbs back. So a total of 20lbs down from original surgery. I'm grateful for the band because it really did reset my brain towards food, so a year and a half of adjusting my eating habits for the most part is going to really help this journey I'm about to go on. Hopefully I never see this person again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App
