Mystie 146 Posted January 26, 2013 5. I thought the main one would be in my belly button, but it's not. Maybe because I already have a scar there from having my gallbladder out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynkaye1 7 Posted January 26, 2013 Day 3 was yesterday - I was dismissed from hospital. I actually did not feel the greatest but I think I was fighting something. I had the chills and was really scared I was going to start running a fever. I slept pretty good and woke up feeling much better. Day 4 - I'm dong great - so far I haven't had to take any nausea medicine. The only pain medication I'm taking is 1 extra strength Tylenol. My weight is same as when I went I'm for surgery. I'm eating Jello, pudding and trying to drink my crystal light. I get a very full feeling very fast. Today I will be taking it easy - not planning on going anywhere. I hope everyone is dong good too. Would love to hear from all of you. Blessings - Linda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crystal525 26 Posted January 27, 2013 I have 5. Only 2 are new since I'm a former bandster. But all are teeny except the one at my belly button. That's stil only about an inch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2013newme 42 Posted January 27, 2013 I have 3 from the surgery itself... and I have 1 where they put in the pain medicine ball tubes - just a very small slit really - and then I have two marks (for lack of a better word) where they had the drainage tubes (they look like strawberries - just like I skinned my knee (or stomach in this case :-)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vonnegutk 9 Posted January 27, 2013 4 days post surgery and I do feel better today. I actually slept about 6 hours straight! Ingesting 64-ounces of fluids is quite difficult for me. I managed 42 ounces yesterday and this was tough. Focused on getting Proteins and Vitamins first then other fluids. More pain than I had anticipated, but I was comparing it to my lap band surgery 5 years ago. As for not having my Lap-Band - it is odd not feeling the port and always feeling the actual Lap-Band tight on my stomach. Anybody else have a Lap-Band / Sleeve revision? I am actually contemplating going back to work tomorrow - probably not a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
