Got my sleeve on 3/30

[rhya2k 31]

So i had my lap band removed after 5 years, too many issues. My surgeon removed all the scar tissue, (90 minutes to do that) and got sleeved. It's been so long I forgot how it feels. Finally home after one night in the hospital. Starting on liquids and have a drainage tube! So far so good! I would appreciate and info or tips from anyone. Also if anyone had a drainage tube can you prepare me for how it will feel when it comes out? Thanks!!!! I'm looking forward to this new journey!

I had no tube or the like so I've got no info there..

As far as 'info or tips' the entire site is full of them...

So my only tips are as follows...

- Don't be afraid to ask questions - in the forums or via PM.

- Remember that most of the info you get here is anecdotal and generally what has worked for that particular person - It may not work the same for you. For YOU specific information, talk to your medical team.

- Protein, Water, Protein, Water, protein, water...

Good luck to you...

Stay positive and stay posting!!

I had revision to sleeve on the 30th as well! One night in the hospital and they took my drain out before I left. My surgeon said that is his preference and I was ok with that. As for the removal it didn't hurt necessarily but did surprise me. Felt it come out and it was longer than I realized. After a sharp intake of breath, due to the foreign feeling, I was fine. Hope your removal goes well!
