Hi!

I'm heading to the hospital right now. A little nervous and hoping my doctor can do the lap-band removal and sleeve at the same time!

I'll keep you posted!

I made it! Had a rough day yesterday but I feel much better today. Doctor was able to remove the band get me sleeeved all at once! The hospital was fantastic, I was just uncomfortable with the gas and the port incision, but other than that I'm good! Thank you for your best wishes!

Thank you! I'm doing great and enjoying life so far. I lost 16 pounds the first week but now I'm in a stall and my body refuses to loose weight, sigh. I know I need to start eating more and getting more Protein but is been kinda hard eating for me. I'm really comfortable drinking shakes, but I'm in the soft food stage now and I have no appetite at all. I hope my body reacts and I can star loosing again. I guess I need more calories in because right now I'm probably at 300-400 a day.

My advice would be: things will get better! First days are really uncomfortable and the incision where the port was still bother me. Walk walk walk! To get the gas out and drink lots of fluids the first week!

As a comparison with the lap-band, the sleeve is the real deal! You will feel no hunger and BIG restriction after a couple of bites. I wish I had this done in the first place and I have no regrets with the sleeve! I do have tons of ideas for the liquid diet and the soft food diet so let me know and I can share some with you! You will do great!
