Hi all, I have a Lap Band and am going to have a revision to the Sleeve done in 5 days with Dr. Kelly. A lot of different emotions going on, excited, anxious, nervous, etc.. I would love to hear from anyone that's done the revision.

ohhh good luck!!! i too am having a band to sleeve on 6/5 so i can completely understand the mix of emotions i finally got to the point today where i stopped took a deep breath and closed my eyes and just focused on the best of the best i told myself i was going to have an amazing speedy recovery with no nausea or complications. i told myself that i was going to do the work that i needed to do to get the weight off and be healthy again, then i imagined myself in all of the cute clothes i was going to be able to wear and not have to buy a size up to hide my tummy and thighs. all in all it was a great meditation! i wish you much joy and i wish you the very things i just spoke of!

I just had my revision on the 22nd. So far, so good. My pain has been well under control, and I feel pretty decent overall.

Thank you all for the well wishes. Judging from what I've read I'm sure it's going to be a great experience. The Dr Kelly I refer to is the one from Mexico. I'm self payiing since my insurance won't cover it.

      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.
