Hanging in there. Yesterday was tuff. I feel much better today. I couldn't swallow any Fluid yesterday as I was too swollen. Today I had Jello, Soup and Water.

I have been getting bad hiccups which are painful and some cramps but it's all normal. Once I pass gas, I can go home.

I was banded in 2006 and did the Band 2 VSG 7/22/2015. It was interesting to see the band's pouch still present during a flouroscopy study at the dr office... The gift that keeps on giving, but I am down nearly 30 lbs in 5 weeks so no complaints!!

How is everyone doing after revision? I have been banded for almost 14 years and revising next month. Was wondering how long before you went to work if you don't mind sharing. I am planning on taking 3 weeks off. I have a sedentary job. I also have a 3 night cruise booked for 5 weeks after. Think I will be ok? Many thanks!

I'm 17 days out and feel great. I took off 2weeks but could have gone back sooner but had a fever and they kept me in hospital for 6 days. I also had a drain and didn't want to go to work w drain. As for your trip, I don't see why you couldn't go. I feel great right now and down 22lbs so far.

@adnlyn Thank you so much, this really helps. Sorry about your fever but glad it resolved. Must have been frustrating. My surgeon does not use a drain.

Glad to hear things are going well. I did the revision on 8/21/15, and am feeling great. As for how long to take off, I also took two weeks off and am not sure I will actually use the whole two weeks. I definitely get tired more quickly, but that of course has a lot to do with the surgery and lack of calories. I did work hard to stay ahead of my pain, and used the meds as directed this time.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
