Congratulation! You're doing awesome! -
I'm home from surgery now. My hospital stay was four days, everything went well. I'm currently on liquids for two weeks. I'm glad to see that everyone is doing good, congratulations! Alicia:thumbup:

LilMissDiva: Don't worry I think you'll be sleeved fine. I'm just paranoid that my stomach, where the lap-band was oversewn won't be smooth enough for the sleeve. My surgeon said that he planned on putting a mesh in that area and then oversew it to assure against leaks. Even then I'm worried about that. The ideal for me would be that he oversew the entire staple area, but he doesn't think that's necessary. Anyway, good luck tomorrow.

tdov1: Good luck on your surgery tomorrow, good idea on taking extra liquids before surgery. I remember when I had my band repaired back in December I didn't take extra fluids the day before surgery and to top it off I had a glass of wine, I was super dehydrated after surgery. So this time I'll make sure I take in extra liquids. Take care. dbernier01: I will also have my band removed on Sept. 16. and will be sleeved. I've thought of telling my surgeon to wait on the sleeve if he thinks that there will be complications doing the revision. Depending on wether he thinks my stomach should heal a bit more before the revision.

To all September sleever who have been sleeved, CONGRATULATIONS!!! To those yet to be sleeved, my prayers are with you :thumbup: My turn coming up soon! Yikes, time sure does fly.

Wow! That's six days post-op. CONGRATULATIONS! I hope I do just as good!

Oops! My surgery date is 9/16 I'm sooo excited I can't think straight, close enough though. Since I have the lap-band and have already lost some weight (50 lbs.) my Dr. didn't put me on a pre-op diet. I still have to watch what I eat though because today Dr. removed all the saline solution from my band and told me not to gain any weight, so it's like not having the band at all. After My unfill I went to Dennys and finished all my breakfast. That felt so good, naughty me! Anyway, I have a sister, and my parents also, who live in Bonita. I myself live in Rosarito Beach, not too far from the border. I list San Diego because that's where I was born and raised.
How are you doing with your liquid diet? I remember I had to do a liquid diet for my lap-band, I'd say I was about 50% honest with it. Keep in touch, let me know how things are going for you.

My surgery is scheduled September 16th. for revision Lap-Band to Sleeve. Count me in!

So far, I've had 4 fills and 2 unfills. When I got my last fill on July 29, I was at 5.9 cc and had a .05 cc fill. I had to get a slight unfill (.02) because I was not able to eat a decent meal. Wow, what a difference that made! So now I have a total of 6.2 cc and I finally have perfect restriction. I love my band! I can't say that enough.

Can anyone recommend a good exercise DVD?

I highly recommend Joyce Vedral's weight workout, it will target the areas that you're concerned about.
