Hi Nana! I don't know if you remember me from LBT, but I was banded 1/03 and de-banded 7/04 due to erosion. I gained back all my weight, and am being sleeved by Dr Aceves next week. Dr. Lopez did my band - both install and removal, as well as my port revision.

I can't wait to have my sleeve!

I remeber you donali....I was thinking or you and Michelle a few weeks ago!:lol0:

Ahhhh peacock poop, normal for post ops, comes from the blue apple juice. Just remember, liquids in, liquids out. Keep us posted.

LOL ... Nana ... we thought we'd warned you ... it hits everyone at different times -- Ruthi was still in the hospital ... me it was 3 days after I got home ... it just lasts a few days and will be gone ... no need to fret!!!

Yep, it is normal. The hard part for me was, when my body decided it had to go, it meant it was ready to go right now!! Making it to the bathroom was tricky at times for me during that period of time. I know, I know, TMI!

Ya I work at home but it is upstairs with no bathroom getting down them steps fast enough has been tricky....... Once I read the words peacock poop.... it all can back to me what I had read. Down 10 lbs in 7 days with about 35 to go...... :biggrin2: by Christmas I will be a new person.
