Why did you have to have a revision 2 days later?

Are you able to guzzle a lot of water at one time yet? I am 2.5 weeks and desperate to be able to!

I had a lot of swelling and my stomach herniated up into the chest, closing it off. I couldn't swallow anything. I had the Lapband removed also which contributed to the swelling. So I went back two days later and he pulled the stomach back out and had to remove the sutures where he had over stitched the staples to try and prevent a leak. He also found a part of my stomach that he somehow missed during the first surgery which had herniated above where the Lapband had been so he cut that out too the second time. It was all screwed up. I was just so thankful I could swallow after all that!

I was sleeved on March 25th down 31 pounds...... still having problems with head hunger vs real hunger vs thirst.......... I was not one of the lucky ones that feels nooooo hunger at all... I still feel it. It is not a fraction of hunger before surgery , but it is still there......bodyweight.png?ts=1366211383

I can drink larger sips than I could weeks before and don't have to wait very long in between. I still don't take huge gulps, though. :)

3/1 down 30 lbs 70 total. I don't weight myself but once a month. I'm looking forward to weighing in next month again. Weighing daily or weekly does something weird to my brain. This way I'm sure to have a loss. I'm loving this sleeve o mine.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
