bg9249 18 Posted July 8, 2016 I went through lapband surgery in September 2011, and was successful with the lapband. When I got pregnant they removed all fluids in my band. In September 2015 I went to get a fill to learn that my port was inverted and my band is slipping. I made the decision to convert from a band to a sleeve, and will have surgery tomorrow. I'm nervous and excited, hoping for a speedy recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bk's Amirah 0 Posted July 9, 2016 Awesome your surgery went great but I'm wondering I thought you had to wait until the next day and drink some type of funny liquid before you sip on broth. Did you drink the Fluid in the same day that they let you eat dinner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ciciz 8 Posted July 9, 2016 Mine went well also!! I had it done in outpatient surgery so I came home last night. I had a few hour of intense gas pain, but other than that just a little abdominal soreness. I'm on room temperature Water and broth only until 5 pm, when I can start full liquids as tolerated. I'm already amazed that I am just not hungry. I'm super thirsty though, and taking smaller sips is a bit of a challenge!
