Band Revision to sleeve in one surgery.



Recommended Posts

I have read a lot on the site that many people wake up and they could not have the sleeve done in the same surgery , that is a fear of mine. After getting my hopes up to get the sleeve done during the band revision. Has anyone had success with getting them done the same day and how is your journey going.

I am getting mine done tomorrow morning. Had the band done in 07 and was very successful. I screwed up and got lazy and learned every eating trick to beat the band. I am getting the revision to sleeve in the morning. I am praying it's a 1 and done. I will let you know !

So far so good :) they successfully did it all in one shot. I am in the hospital and will be for 2 nights. I am just groggy and sore so far. The morphine drip seems to be helping.

      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.
