jingleboob 5 Posted November 7, 2015 I had my band put in back in 2010 and had great success. I went from 310 to 210 in about 2 years. Got pregnant in 2013 , had band unfilled. A lot of morning sickness and vomiting and I was so tight I couldn't swallow Water. I gained a lot of weight. I was back at 300 when DD was born. And 2 years later I am at 290. I've had my band re-filled, and unfilled a couple of times. I'm just so tight all of the time. It's completely empty and it sucks. I throw up in my sleep. So... It's comin out on 11/24 with bypass on 12/29. We met our deductible so I was hoping to get both done this year while they're fully covered. I just got my dates yesterday. I'm a bit nervous about recovery with a 2 year old at home. Bummed to miss thanksgiving (I know....). And excited as hell to drop this fu$&?!g weight and be able to play on the floor with my little girl! If you've had the removal... What was recovery like? I sit and talk in a microphone for work so hoping to be back ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Candidate 3,215 Posted November 7, 2015 Throwing up in your sleep must be horrible! Hope things improve quickly with your surgery. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soexcited 64 Posted November 8, 2015 Hey! I just logged in to ask the exact same thing! Id love to hear how others did with recovery after lap band removal??? I had my band out 9 days ago, no complications just a simple removal.....but Im still do tired! I threw up for about 24 hrs after removal and slept on and off for days! Though I turned the corner a few days ago but I feel horrible again today I saw my doc yesterday for a follow up, he said everything looked great but why do I feel like this? Gosh Id perrish if I had to look after a 2 yr old this week! My bypass will be the first of next year.....no date yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
