So I had my revision yesterday and I'm feeling good. No nausea, no pain, no gas. I've been walking around with no problems. Despite the circumstances, I think I'm doing quite well. The dr took about a 1hr n half bcuz I had a lot of scar tissue and a hilated hernia. The hernia was so bad that it cause my stomach walls to become very thin.

So I'm on liquids for a month and puree for almost a month. Its going to be hard, but I have to do what I have to do. So glad I did the revision. I'm ready for the bright future.

Awesome! Glad you are doing so well. My experience was similar, except the first couple days I had a lot of nausea. It gets better every day.

Revision is when the lap band is removed and the sleeve is done. You've been revised.

That's awesome! Can I ask how long you had your band? I've had mine for five years without a whole lot of complications so I wonder about the scaring situation as well.

I feel pretty good. I still have gas pain in my left shoulder, which is a pain in the a**. Its hard getting all the liquids down. Each day it gets better.

Thanks for asking!!

[bolivister 5]

Gas pain in shoulder? Is that from the anaesthesia?

Its from the gas that is pump into the stomach, so the dr can see inside. Its a common side effect ...it can be very painful.
