Hi new to this 5 days post op Lap band to sleeve ...not as bad as I thought it would be ...so far worse was co2 pressure after surgery and stuck in a bed in the pacu waiting for a bed once in the regular room and able to move pain went away... I'm a rn and I don't use and narcotics and just used toradol iv and was able to recover so much quicker and zofran iv...slight headache...my advice move as soon as u can and gets off the narcotics if u can...went in at 216 and so far dropping a pound every day...so I'm looking forward to see how the sleeve works... Lap band did fine till a year ago then started failing and weight started back on. So looking forward to hopefully less of me. Thanks for listening. I'm alone and could use support. Even though my family is supportive but live in other states... Best of luck to everyone

Sounds like you're doing well. I had my sleeve December 29 and I'm doing well. Was rough the first two weeks for me but it's working itself out. Hope things are going well for you and looking forward to reading about you're progress
