Slipped band reposition surgery what is the recovery time
readysetg070113 posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi I have been banded for 5 years as of July 1 I love my band I had a major skip and it moved so now Tuesday I’m having it repaired. Dr says 2 days recovery I am wondering if anyone else had it repaired and repositioned and what was the recovery and is the diet the same as surgery. I have a major work function on Thursday and wondering if I can make it o get I won’t be able to eat but wondering what else I can or cannot do. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated- 1 reply

4 weeks out, but barely any weight loss in the last 2 weeks.... !?!?
NickiTriesAgain posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone! This is my first post or topic, though I've come to really rely on the advice and encouragement I find here. What a wonderful community. My question- or rather my worry- is this: I've barely lost any weight in the last 2 weeks, even though I'm only 4 weeks post op. My first week I lost about 10 lbs., but I wasn't really able to eat or drink much after all the medications. Once they were out of my system, I felt so much better! Over the next 2 weeks, I lost about 6 lbs., but nothing in the last week. The scale just sits and stares at me. Other than that, I'm doing really well- exercising, drinking lots of Water, trying to get enough Protein. I will say that I did not stay on the liquid diet after the first 2 weeks and have moved onto to almost any soft(ish) food, usually high in protein. I can eat chicken, turkey, yogurt, hummus, even vegetables.... almost anything with no problems. Small bites, chew-chew-chew and stop when you feel full. Even though I'm eating such small amounts, the WEIGHT-- it stays!! Is this normal? Will it start to fall off? Are there other people who did well off the liquid/pureed diet or did it bite them in the butt??- 14 replies

Stall 2 weeks after revision?
blondiefroggy posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
So, I had my revision from band to sleeve on January 14th. Surgery went well, went home the next day. Normal recovery. From the start of my pre-op diet until now I have lost about 20 pounds. But for the last week and a half, I have lost NOTHING. This seems so early for a stall. About a week ago after a few days of no loss I started logging my food on My Fitness Pal. At first I was only getting between 500-600 calories. So I figured maybe I was getting too few calories, and made an effort to get to 800. So I've been at 800 calories for about a week. I should mention I am still on full liquids. I don't start purees until this coming Monday. My sodium, carbs, fat, and sugar are all nice and low. I'm getting enough Water. I walk 30 minutes a day. Has anyone else had this? Do I just wait it out? I guess that's all I can do. Any advice besides be patient?- 18 replies
