Surgeries scheduled!

[jingleboob 5]

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.

Throwing up in your sleep must be horrible! Hope things improve quickly with your surgery. Good luck!

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.
