Katie K Kitt 12 Posted May 18, 2015 Hi there, doing this off my phone and not sure if I'm posting properly. I'm on day 2 post-op and feeling pretty good. A bit sore and tender but nothing serious. I had quite a bit of back pain last night but a Tramadol helped immensely. This morning I get my drain out then it's off to the Mariott for one more night and we fly back to Canada tomorrow. Surgery isn't fun, but I look forward to the weight loss! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mallen1895 108 Posted May 18, 2015 Hi All: My surgery was last Tuesday May 12th. So I'm on my 6 day post-op. I am feeling so much better. Stomach is healing nicely. My followup with my surgeon is Wednesday. I was in pain for 3 days then i started feeling better. I was lucky my doctor put me on soft/purée foods when I left the hospital because I had no problem drinking or keeping food down. So far I'm down 17 pounds since the surgery that also include the two week pre-op diet. My biggest problem is drinking enough Water. I never been a big Water drinker before the surgery. Now he want me to drink at least 64oz everyday to keep hydrated. I'm trying its tough. I want to wish everyone luck who is having surgery this week. The first few days after surgery is rough but it does get better each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoMoBand 278 Posted May 19, 2015 Had band to sleeve revision on May 4. I'm 14 days out. First day off liquids and on puréed foods. Doing great! Want2surf, I had band to sleeve revision also on same day that you did. If you don't mind me asking, how different did you find this surgery from the lapband? Of course, the port removal was a bit more painful, but, just curious overall how did the surgery recovery, diet, etc. differ for you. I started the pureed stuff today and I hurt a little bit when I had scrambled eggs. I think the mistake I made was that the scrambled eggs were on the dry side. I also made a huge mistake and tried 1/4 cup of sugar free ice cream and I think I know what dumping syndrome is all about - won't do that again!! jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
