It's finally here...SURGERY DAY today!



Recommended Posts

My time has finally come. I'm packed and ready to leave for the hospital in a few hours to have my band to sleeve revision surgery later today. I'm excited, but also quite nervous (which I'm sure is normal).

If you would, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks everyone!!

I'm so excited for you! You have been such a support for me and others.

I did mine Tuesday and had a rough one and a half day due to fever. I can't believe how well I am doing! No nausea or not much pain. My husband even commented!

I can't wait to hear from you! Keep us all posted on how you feel :).

Good luck sweetie!!

I just weighed and took measurements and I have lost 18 pounds and 19 inches (from waist, hips, thighs, knee, calf, chest, upper arm, forearm, and "bust") since I started the 2-week pre-op diet!! So excited to start seeing the scale moving down, down, DOWN!!!

band to sleeve revision surgery today

@@Fatty McFatster

sorry you had problems with your band :wacko:

in my "biased" opinion - the sleeve is the greatest!!!

having revision surgery shows your determination

you are brave enough to go through MORE surgery

you want to get it right/successful with weight loss

you are starting all over

most of the rules with lapband are same/similar to sleeve???

you are a winner, but i'll save you a seat on the "loosers" bench!!! ;)

good luck

speedy recovery

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
