I had my revision surgery 2 weeks ago and I'm still dealing with complications. I'm going back to the hospital today for my fifth CT scan. I am really ready to be over this. It's frustrating and upsetting.

annapatel, so sorry you are going through this. Do they have a diagnosis for you yet? I can't say that i know what you are going through as I was blessed with a straightforward recovery, but keep your chin up... others that have recovered from complications in the end get good results. Hang in there.

So sorry you're going through this.. Hope you find out the reasons for your issues.

Dr Clinch was my dr for urgent band removal.. Nice guy.

Good luck with your tests today

I'm having a band to sleeve revision 4/4 with Dr. Srikanth at Evergreen. Dr. Billing in Edmonds did my 4cc band in 2005 at Stevens.

I'm in Marysville. :)

      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.
