No idea if this is normal so here we go. Weighted 387 day I started pre op diet. Weighed 367 after surgery ( surgery 9/10) weighed 350 this morning. Problem? Haven't lost a pound this last week. Is this something you all have seen happen before?

They told me not to worry about the scale for at least a month bc your body has to adjust. Fluids make you weigh more.

I am new to this site. I am calling for my appointment in the morning. My question is this. I had the lap band 6 yrs ago. It is not working for me. I want to be revised with the sleeve. Can any of you out there tell me if the pre surgery steps are the same for both procedures. Also, why are some of you taking time off from work. I had it done on a Friday and went back to work on the following Monday night.

As far as insurance yes, mine were the same. Except my lap band was a mechanical failure so it HAD to be removed whether or not I got the sleeve done. Sleeve procedure leaves a large staple/suture line in your stomach, which the band doesn't. Return to work depends on the type of work you do

Please' date=' if you just had surgery... STAY OFF THE SCALE... you did not gain 100 - 150 lbs in 3 hours, you are NOT going to lose it in 3 hours just because you had a major surgery, your body has just gone thru a MAJOR JOLT... your body is going to SWELL, making you GAIN weight........ it is going to take you almost 3 weeks to start FEELING OK...NOT GOOD, but OK.. Give your body time to HEAL, ADJUST. Try to get in as much Water and Protein as you can... do NOT ask can I have this, knowing when you went into surgery you will NOT be able to have it... follow your Dr orders or someone that has BEEN WHERE you ARE... YOU will NOT be HUNGRY.. it is head hunger. so do not come here and say I AM HUNGRY.. you are not.... get serious as to why you did this surgery and you will succeed!!! Best of luck to all of you. I linger between 125-129 and I do NOT freak out that OMG I gained 4 pounds, get used to it NOW[/quote']

Strong but valuable words of advice. Thanks. My surgery is today at 1:30...wish me success, both during and after. Good luck everyone!

      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!
