hi I was sleeved June 18 went from 252 down to 222 now back up to 225, this happened at the same time I started exercising, had the band before and am post menopausal. What are people taking for calories and carbs?

I was revised june 18 and havent slimed thrown up and I feel FULL FOR ONCE, dont miss that port at all :wub:

yes, I had the same experiance and it took about 3 wks to ease up, I have the sleeve, I hated the port

Oops meant post op!!!

Hi, I am one week Preop from the sleeve,I also had the band for three years. So far down 9 lds

I had my band out 4 months ago. I went into revision surgery last Monday, I was pushing for a bypass, but woke up w a sleeve, my doc said because of the scar tissue it made most sense to put in the sleeve. He said my drainage tube would have to stay in three weeks. So I will be out of work for about a month. But I have never had a vacation

Hi, My sleeve surgery was on Monday, I went into it not knowing if I was getting the bypass or sleeve. I had a lapband that failed so there was a lot of scar tissue

I just came home today from the hospital. I had a revision from lap band to gastric sleeve. Thanks so much for the encouraging words!

Yes it was outpatient, the port site was a pain, I took 2 days off from work

Hi, I had the band removed about three months ago, my insurance made me wait at least three months between surgeries. I did not have to go through the same process but they did repeat some things like the nutrition class and psych evals. They did not require a wieght loss but asked that I maintain what I was at. My surgeron filed the paperwork and he asked for the gastric sleeve, he said depending on where the scar tissue is he would do either the sleeve or the bypass. It is the bypass that I want. So I have an appointment on June 18th to set the final details

Hi I just had my band removed after 3.5 years. I initially lost 50 pounds then started having problems. Could you tell me about the medically supervised diet? How much were you supposed to lose?
