WGH3IWDT 93 Posted November 22, 2016 I'd like to know what I can expect in the weeks and months to come after my surgery which was on 11/14/16. Can anyone who had this same procedure give me some possible insight. Thank-You Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trainer-1 22 Posted November 22, 2016 I had a revision from band to sleeve on 10/17. Recovery has been very smooth since I have already had experience with the full liquids diet and transitioning to soft foods. I get the same "soft sign" to stop eating as I did with the band, a hiccup. Haven't vomited or been nausested at all. I chew my food to smithereens! I haven't had any reflux and continue on carafate and prilosec. No problems getting about 70 Gm of Protein in with one Protein shake and the foods I consume. Have lost 27# since my pre-op diet and am at 184 # now, 4 weeks out. I think my weight loss will be much better with the sleeve than with the band, and no more fills and unfilled! I'm so glad I made the conversion! I was having reflux at night and aspirating with the band, couldn't have much fill in it, therefore no restriction.

WGH3IWDT 93 Posted November 23, 2016 Thank-You And I AGREE filling and unfilling the band I will NOT miss ESP since I was nice in the Green Zone. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
