I had a really similar situation after my leak repair, I spent 3 days on a ventilator in ICU. Once I was released after 9 days in the hospital I was on TPN for 13 days, and had JP drains for a at least a month. I know how miserable you are feeling, but please know it does get better. I'm praying and thinking of you. And my husband was (is still deployed) during my revision from band to sleeve, and his unit would not allow him to come home to be with me.

Even after everything I went through, I have absolutely ZERO regrets.

Janette,

I will keep you in my thoughts that you recover soon. I presume they took the band out...did they do a VSG too?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
