Buh bye band, hello SIPS!

Arrived at hospital at 5am, surgery started at 715a... was up and walking by noon. Had my cat scan and swallow test by 3, discharged by 530p and home a little after 6....

I'm super nauseated and sore but dealing ok. Now laying down in bed. I don't like this weird pulling feeling in my tummy and I am having a heck of a time completely emptying my bladder (thanks to the catheter) but I'm managing.

BAND out SIPS DS in, one operation. I'm ready to get this journey on the road! Woohoo!!

So Lucky!! I am having my band out and then the sleeve, but my dr wants to do it in two surgeries. He said he feels its better that way. Personally Id rather they do it like yours, all at once!! Good luck and congrats to you!!

Thank you [emoji4][emoji173]️. I knew there was always a possibility it might come out as two surgeries. It all depended on how much scar tissue there was.

Good luck to you [emoji4]

I said good-bye to my band two months ago today! Wow, I just looked at the calendar and realized that. Anyway, congratulations! The first two weeks are rough, but I promise you'll feel better soon. Make sure you take frequent sips of Water all day long so you don't get dehydrated. I'm excited for you.

Thanks, today was rough for sure. I so hope tomorrow is better. I've been working on my liquids no where near where I need to be but I'm working on it. Every sip just hurts. Almost like hunger pains or gas pains I can't even tell anymore. I did manage to walk 4000 steps today too. Please let this gas and nausea go away!!!

It does hurt to drink Water for the first few weeks. No way around it. I don't get that stabbing pain any longer at two months out, so rest assured it will go away. I'm still working on getting my required amount of water intake, however. I still feel nauseated periodically after eating. I'm not sure if this goes away entirely, but it's not the constant queasiness I had post-op. Two weeks from now, you're going to feel so much better. I didn't get the horrible gas post-op. Sorry you're experiencing that. Sounds like you're walking a ton to address that issue, and that's good. The stage you're at is so not fun, but by week three the sun comes out again.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
