NJMOMof2 17 Posted January 2, 2011 Well, after a year and 3 months after I had my band removed due to a full (and painful) slip I am having my gastric sleeve. Although I have an excellent surgical team, I am nervous (once bitten, twice shy).... If any of you could give me some word of encouragment and a send some prayers my way, it would be so much appreciated. I found each of every person on this site to be so kind and compassionate!! Wish me luck! Nina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TijuanaPlication 87 Posted January 2, 2011 Hi Nina, I'm sure you'll do great. I've heard that revision people do pretty well in the long run, as they have realistic expectations as they've already had WLS. All the best for tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becca 108 Posted January 2, 2011 You will do great! I just had my revison (band to sleeve) and I couldn't be happier! The pain meds they give you take care of most of the pain, so don't worry about that. I must say, so far the sleeve is far better than the band. My drive to eat just isn't there. I went to a family New Years event and my liquids were just fine. It didn't even bother me that other people were stuffing their faces because I feel so great. I will be thinking of you!!!!

cludgie 81 Posted January 2, 2011 Good Luck Nina, I'll send up some prayers for you. I'm getting sleeved on the 5th, and am also quite nervous, although I'm figuring that after one previous keyhole surgery, and an emergency c-section I should be prepared for waking up sore! Let us know how you get on. Cx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
