Good luck to you. You are going to LOVE your sleeve in comparison to the band. I experienced complications with the band and I have had none of that with the sleeve. I feel amazing :)

Well I am home recuperating. The first 2 days were rough. I was really nauseated. I had a foam build up. I couldn't keep anything down. On day three the foam began to subside. I was released Monday. Still sore around the incision. Didn't know I would have a drain. Doc removed it before I left the hospital. I am feeling better everyday. Thanks everyone for your kind words and prayers.

Mo :)

Yay! Glad to hear you are home and doing well. When you say "foam build-up" is that similar to the lap-band sliming?

Hi Mo, congrats on your successful revision surgery.

When you get a chance, will you tell me about your arm/shoulder pain?

I have a lap band too and have had this pain in my upper right quadrant of my back that flares up, and I had no idea that it could be related to my band. Yet another reason to have it removed if I didn't have enough reasons already.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
