My Update - for anyone planning or thinking about revision



Recommended Posts

As I approach the 4 month anniversary of my revision, I must say I have NO REGRETS!!! I am so glad I went through the process. I had my band removed and sleeved in one surgery Sept 18, 2014. So far my eating is wonderful and I am loving my sleeve. No stuck foods, no spitting up and when I am full, I am just full. There is no reason to over eat with sleeve, you just have to maintain and eat healthy stay away from junk. Are there temptations...of course because I am a cocktail LOVER LOL! I do have my cocktails but like my foods, I have it in moderation and don't over do it. I feel my body transforming and I so love that feeling of seeing a better looking, none tired, more healthier ME!

To compare the band and the sleeve, there is no comparison. The band I had back in 2006 was not the band for me and I am VERY satisfied with my sleeve. If you are thinking about the sleeve, know that it is the best decision you will give to your health :)

@Amberleach, Congrats and you have every reason to be excited. My advice after surgery is don't rely on the scale, so many are disappointed that the weight isn't falling off but inches will be trimming you and before you know it the weight will start to melt away ????

I'm 3 was post op. I'm still having pain at night I have a hard time getting comfortable. Is this normal? I still feel like it was the best thing ever. The band was a living hell!

I agree, agree! I must admit, this process has been slow first me, but I am doing way better than I every did with the band. I know that I dont handle stress well, so I have to work hard to find balance, but I always do. And I would recommend this journey.
