How is everyone going??

I had my lapband in November 2009 and had it taken out November 2013

I had to wait 3 months and am going in on the 27th Feb to get sleeved.

Am so scared and nervous....

Would love to know how the surgery went for those already had it.

BTW the pre diet sucks!!!! I forgot how bad it actually was

I had the sleeve four days ago. So far I'm doing great. I'm still struggling to gain the balance of Protein and Water.

I also had my band placed in 2009, then had it removed in March 2013. I simply wasn't ready for another WLS at the time. When I was finally ready I went back to my surgeon in December and was sleeved Thursday 2/13.

Good luck to you. I personally feel going from band to sleeve is easier. We have an idea of what to expect with a smaller stomach. And how we do with surgery. You're at an advantage having had the band. Even if it didn't pan out.

I am just trying to get my fluids in. It is hard because I don't want to drink anything. I just sip all day and eat Jello, pudding, Protein Drinks. I am so happy I did it. I wish you all the luck. I am a week out from WLS.

I want Water but nothing else. I feel so lethargic and by the end of the day because I know I'm not getting enough protein.

I have to force myself to keep going. I only want water but the Jello abd popsicle help. I get in some protein as much as possible. I am still weak also but each day there is improvement. I am sure you will get there.

Yes. Everyone says the first few weeks are for learning.

Thanks Jencovi for your feedback

I am so pleased you are going well....You are right I guess we know a bit of what to expect having had the band previously.

Type II, typically control it when I loose weight

10 days post surgery, feeling really good, haven't weighted my self yet. Don't really want this to be about loosing weigh only but mainly control diabetes

Revision sleeve manana 2/14/14 in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Alberto & Rafael Michel at ObesityNot4Me.
Just hope I don't fail like I did with the band (2008)

235#'s ---- goal of 165#'s but more so, CONTROL m diabetes....it's F'n killing me :/

Hi guys. Sleeved the other day on the 27th Feb and feeling pretty good so far. Finding it hard to drink enough but that should come easier when the swelling goes down. Hope to get my stomach tube out today and home tomorrow.

Recovery feels a little easier to the band I think

what was the stomach tube?
