Band to Sleeve Revision surgery TODAY!



Recommended Posts

Well the time has finally come and I will be headed to the hospital later today for my band to sleeve revision surgery. I suppose that I'm about as prepared as I can be, but would still appreciate your thoughts and prayers (as I am quite nervous).

Thanks!!

Hey guys. I'm out of surgery and recovery. Very nauseous and in a good amount of pain, but otherwise things went great.

Thanks to all that offered their support, thoughts, well wishes, and prayers!!! They have meant a lot to me!!

I'm currently on my way home, but I spoke too soon. I Had a VERY BAD night as I woke up at 2:00am with severe convulsions. I honestly thought I was going to die as my body shook uncontrollably. It was very scary.

Thankfully I am better now, but they never could pinpoint the problem. We all think it was a severe drug interaction or overdose.

Oh my glad you are on way home take it easy and recover slowly

Yeah it is quite nerve racking to wake up to severe convulsions. Never had anything like that happen to me before. As a result, I now have really bad neck pain as well.

So hapy you are home. Without all the bother of the nurses and IVs you can hopefully get some good rest and begin healing. ????

Hope you are doing well I am still sore and working hard to get my strength back down 21lbs so far

I am doing pretty good. Still dealing with nausea and soreness.

Congrats on the weight loss. Are you down 21lbs from the beginning of Pre-Op diet or from surgery date? I'm down 22 from Pre-Op, but only down 3.6 from surgery date.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
