Thank you Loopy I'll keep you posted.

My surgery is August 12th stared my liquid diet on Sunday, just can't wait to get this done.

Hello all, I'm having my surgery on 8/12. I have a question how much fluid were you able to get down in stage 2, and are there any ticks to getting more in?

that's good, remember you did not gain the weight in 1 week.

Hi Loopy, I'm scared to death, I didn't get the bypass in 2008 because of all the complications , now my weight is out of control and I just want my life back I'm so uncomfortable,, everything hurts. I just hope and pray that I get through this with out any issues or complications. I often ask myself if its worth it, I wonder what my quality of life will be if I don't get it done, I'm so scared that I will be the one out of whatever that doesn't make it. But I have to let go and let god.

I'm going for my pre-ops tomorrow and i hope all is well.

I'm in the same boat I'm petrified,, but I'm also very uncomfortable.

I'm not one for measurements I go by how I feel and how my clothes fit.

I'm 5'5 230 lbs and my surgery is august 12th in boston

I'm having mine on august 12 sleeve to bypass

Hello all, I'm in ma. I had the lap band in 2008 converted to the sleeve in 2013 and now getting the bypass on Aug 12th. I'm very nervous, I did not ever want to get the bypass because of all the problems that people were having with it . I did very well with the band lost 138lbs after about 5 yrs the band failed and I started gaining weight, I switched to the sleeve and did not lose an once I'm now 230 up from 157. I'm scared but I know I need to do this, I'm hoping there are no complications and I recover quickly like I did from the other surgeries, can people let me know how they are doing and give me some insight into what I can expect after the surgery? thanks

hello, i had hernia repair with mesh and had both the lapband and the sleeve done laprascopic with out a problem..

hello all, I'm going from the band to a sleeve now to the bypass, has anyone else done this. my revision is august 12th in ma.

I would love to get a fill asap, but my dr does not work that way.

thanks luluc, I'm trying , just alittle frustrated. Thanks Crystal

Good morning, I just had my 1st fill 4cc in a 10cc band and I feel nothing. I'm trying to keep it together but it is really hard. Crystal

my first fill is tomorrow, I'm not worried about the pain as much as I'm worried about not feeling any restriction. I've gained about 4 pds and am ready to get this party started. Crystal

I was banned on 3/19, my first fill is 4/30 and I can't wait. I can eat anything I want and that is a problem, I've gaind 4lbs and I'm hoping that my Dr. will be aggressive. Of course I will let you all know how I do.

does anyone have Dr. Lautz at B&W in ma? I'm wondering if he is aggresive with his fills

Hello, I was banned on 3/19 and have gained about 5 lbs, I'm so upset by this, I'm walking about 12 miles a week and my diet is great, but I'm gaining weight, my ist fill is next wed and I hope he will be aggresive with the fill. I'm sure it will get better for both of us Good luck. Crystal

Great idea, I'm 45. married 7 yrs have 3 kids, I live in Malden Ma. and I'm a 911 dispatcher.

Hello all, I'm glad to see that everybody is doing weel. I will get my first fill on May 1st and can't wait. I am hungry all the time. not sure if it is a mental thing, but I can eat with no problem at all. I am try to stick to my diet but it is really hard. Does anybody else have itching around the incisions? Mine are driving me crazy! so far down 17 lbs YAAAAHHHH!!!!!

I agree with everybody, it's just been one day it will take sometime for you to get all of the meds out of your system and believe me in a couple of days you will feel much better, just do the breathing machine get up and walk and you feel much better very soon. hang in there. I was banded on the 19th.

honey don't feel bad, I was banded on the 19th and I had steak last night I chewed the h@## out of it, I'm going to dr on thur and should be put on mushies.

Im in the same boat was banded on the 19th, still on liqs, down about 16 lbs wish it were more, but also know that we should try to focus on recovery. I am so hungry and so tired of liqs. My postop appt is thursday and i hope to get a fill date, I even had chicken wings this eve no restriction at all needed something to chew , but will back on track in the morn. hang in there, it can only get better.
