Goodbye lapband, hello sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Had my revision surgery this morning and now recovering. Managed to go for a small walk his evening which was amazing!

Will have a swallow test in the morning and if no leaks I get to start sipping Water. I have never been anticipating a drink of water like I am right now!

Pain is minimal, treating with Tylenol suppositories. I can have morphine if it gets bad but it reat hasn't been bad at all.

Good luck everyone with your journeys!!

I had my band removed and sleeved at 7am this morning.

Converted to a sleeve.

The knotted/ nauseus feeling from the band was gone almost instantly.

My 2 cents- if you are feeling generally like crap, like I was the last 2 years

Get the band out!

I'm drinking broth and eating Jello

It took nearly 2 hours but I for it down.

Good luck to you !

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
