Revision Surgery on Tuesday 8/11

[samskiles 159]

I'm having band to sleeve revision surgery on Tuesday. It will be done in one surgery along with a hiatal hernia repair. I am on week two of liquids and feel ready for surgery. I am wondering if surgery is more painful when you have it all done at once? Any post surgery tips?

I had it all done at once. Pretty much no pain - pain meds twice in the 2 days I was in the hospital and one was because I had a really bad headache. No pain meds when I came home. No nausea, vomiting or anything. I love it!

Surgery tips are the same as with the band - get thee out of bed and walk, walk, walk.

I'm home and had surgery yesterday and was discharged last night. It went well. Gas pains were pretty bad in hospital and I was very nauseated. They gave me meds and I felt better. Today I'm having trouble getting a liquids in. When will that get better?

I had revision surgery on Monday, 8/10. For me, I think the pain is worse than the band. It's the gas pain that is getting me. Not the incision pain. But today was a better day because I was able to walk more. And that is helping alot. Walk and sip.

I had my surgery on 8/10. Still in hospital due to low grade fever. They did a catscan and no leaks, no nausea. It took a few days to move to protien shakes, had half of one last night and it went right through me but no throwing up. Gas pains were bad in the beginning but walked a ton and finally took care of that. It's real frustrating sitting here w a fever they don't know where it's coming from and won't let me leave till its under control.

I am having issues with fluids. Yesterday I was able to get 2 8oz shakes down but it took ALL day. I got 1 16,.9 bottle of Water down. Today was more difficult.

No head hunger. I don't feel hungry at all

I got the revised surgery (from band to sleeve) on 8-10. I'm able to get the liquid in but I'm so tired of broth. I tried eating some Refried mushy Beans and IT HURT. I know I shouldn't have cheated but damn!

I had revision on 8-10 as well. I can't look at liquids anymore! Loosing my mind. I tried some plain Sabra Hummus which was great and worked out fine. I also tried some Peanut Butter. That was a little too thick but I was able to eat it. I see surgeon and nutritionist on Friday to hopefully move to Proteins, which I think I can handle now.

I'm on stage 2 now and have added in cream Soups. I am so ready to start soft foods!! I don't think I will ever eat Soup again...

Having my revision surgery 9/2. Can someone explain about the gas pains please? Is it due to the surgery or something else, and does it go away? How about heartburn? Any issues with that?

Thanks and good luck to everyone!!

Due to the surgery but it's usually just a few days and nothing compared to having the port sewn in.
