I will have my band removed and sleeved on July 31 by Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela, I am nervous and scared that I won't reach my goal. I have had my band since 1/2005 and it worked for my fine until last year that I had an endometrial ablation and got hormones I went from 165 to 200 which is were I am at now, can anyone tell me their experience after band removal and revised to sleeve????

It's great to be home. I've taken my first shower starting sipping my Water. I got my two tums down this morning waiting until 9 for the Multivitamin. Not to be gross I've even passed gas I'm so happy. I can feel it making its way down in my system but its such a relief as it passes' date=' it takes so much pressure off my stomach.

Home care nurse is due at 10 so I'm up and about getting some walking in.

Have a great day sleeves![/quote']

It is a sad but great feeling to be rid of that gas pain! Best of luck in your recovery!!

Are you drinking your fluids? I have a hard time doing fluids of any type. I had surgery July 1st since June 24th I am down 32 lbs. I am pushing, pushing fluids today. I have been stuck at one number for 3-days now and know it is the liquid. Good luck ~ it too shall pass!

How do they do a leak test?

Like upper GI. I had a couple swallows of bitter stuff followed by a couple swallows of vanilla barium. Took a couple pictures and said everything looks great.

I just came home yesterday. Not nearly as bad as expected. Maybe I'm just lucky. No real pain, just a little uncomfortable. I took two ten minute walks outside today! The sipping is just constant. If you're not sleeping, you must be sipping. LOL. Good luck tomorrow. Update us so we know how you are doing.

I just got all my Protein for the day in. I didn't expect to on my second day home. I'm still working on Water though. That's a little harder. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just running out of hours in the day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
