Officially sleeved! Surgery went amazing. I am happy to report that I have ZERO pain/soreness. I feel very lucky! I've been able to go on long walks in the hospital and I feel excellent. I hope everyone else who had surgery today is having the same luck!

I'm 11 July :). I just had a horror thought... While they do the surgery are my boobs going to be on display? Do they cover u and just leave the tummy on display? Or is the whole lot on show?

I had my surgery 12 hours ago and I am relieved that there's been no pain except for the gas pain in my shoulders. I literally asked them did they do anything or just knock me out and wake me up again lol. As soon as I was able to walk (about 4 hours after I woke up) I even went and checked in the mirror! I handled Water really well, just remember the small sips! And I've been moved onto the clear Fluid phase. I just want to reassure people who are nervous about the pain and I pray that you have a smooth ride like I have so far!

Had my band to sleeve revision yesterday, it was successful! I am officially sleeved! Yesterday was pretty rough, only got out of bed once, feeling much better today. Am having my "breakfast" as I type this. One ounce diet cranberry and one ounce berry Isopure. So far so good! Getting my catheter out in an hour and then hopefully it will be easier to get around!

So happy for you. I have my band to sleeve revision next Tuesday. What were your issues with the band? Did they do the revision all in one surgery or did theybremove your band previously? Im hoping it all gets done in one surgery. He said he can but you never know once they get in there. NERVOUS!!!! Glad you arent in pain!

I had it all in one surgery as well. That was my biggest worry, having to have 2 surgeries, but my surgeon said everything went perfect, no problems and not much scar tissue. I had weight regain with the band, I was also throwing up a lot and having a lot of pain when eating, all this with my band being empty. I'm so glad i made this choice!

Also July 26th. It does seem like there are a lot of us. I am in the middle of my 2 week liquid diet. Mine is pretty strict and the food I had to get is awful, so I am really looking forward to surgery just to stop eating lol. Good luck to all of you!

      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.
