I'm having band to sleeve revision in Nashville on Monday. How was the recovery?

I had recovered great, just have that band failure on my brain, like it may happen again. I feel good and have already lost 53 lbs since 4/21.

I'm just starting out. I have a seminar on July 15th with Dr. Rutledge. I'm wanting the sleeve. Hopefully everything will go quickly. Where did u have your surgery?

Sounds like you are doing great. I think failing this surgery is a big part of my fear right now. I keep telling myself that the band failed me. I couldn't live with the complications that having a fill brought on but it's still a failure in my mind.

I'm in East TN and having my surgery on 7/1. Let us know when you get your date and keep us posted on your journey. I just started my pre-op diet on Tuesday and I think I was more scared of it than the surgery (I just didn't think I could do it). It's actually not been too bad. I went ahead and prepped freezer meals for my husband and son before I had to start the pre-op so I wouldn't feel like I had to cook anything I couldn't eat!!! LOL! I'm sure that has helped. :)

I have been freezing meals for my husband too. I have been focused on getting things ready in my house so after surgery I only have to think about a safe and quick recovery.

If you go to Mexico to have the surgery, most of the time that's out of pocket correct?

      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.
