GalleyGal 26 Posted February 23, 2016 I'm having a band to sleeve revision on the 2nd! It was supposed to be 2/23 but it was rescheduled due to a death in the family this week and the Drs schedule. I'm so excited to get this done! I'm a lower bmi so I only have to do a week on the pre-op diet of Protein shakes and 1 small meal a day until the day before with only liquids. I'm ready to focus on me again and take care of myself. I have a 2 yr old I need to be healthy for! Good luck everyone else!

I've been told since it's a revision that the main is worse due to the removal of the band and port along with scar tissue. Any issues after surgery? Good job at the weight loss so far!!

Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal I just had the sleeve done on Wednesday, 2/3. The surgery was really painful and immediately had me questioning if I made the right decision. I spent two nights in the hospital. I was really tired and weak. I was unable to take the pain medicine or any Vitamins in pill form. I ended up buying chewable Flintstones Multivitamins with Iron, chewable Calcium citrate and vitamelt B12. I planned on going back to work on Monday the 8th but when I showered, I was so weak that I called out sick. I did go back Tuesday, 2/9 (6 days post op) and have been fine.... I have a desk job. By the following day, my pain was pretty much gone (except if I coughed). I feel that I could have been better prepared for the post-op diet. I have always loved Water but after surgery, it took me almost 3 weeks to be able to drink it again (made me feel like I had a lump in my throat). Make sure you have plenty of juice, maybe some flavor packets to mix in your Water, different broths, different flavors of sugar-free Jello, Popsicles and a couple different Protein shakes.

Annietime 1 Posted February 28, 2016 Hi Brianna. I'm 12 days post op. I feel so good. I was nervous/excited also. I took everything one day at a time. Otherwise for me, it would have been too overwhelming. Good luck! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mistycal 81 Posted February 28, 2016 HI I'm scheduled for 3/3 also! I am only required to do 24 hr liquid diet the day before, but I'm doing low cal until surgery to try and shrink my liver for a smoother surgery.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
