Trixie82 73 Posted June 22, 2018 It may be a bit rough for the first few hours but after that it gets better really fast. Wishing you the best! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Katbad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katbad 30 Posted June 24, 2018 Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I’m doing really well. The surgery was complicated. The surgeon discovered a massive hiatal hernia grown all around my lapband. Also the lapband was growing into my diaphragm. It took 3-1/2 hours just to remove the band and hernia then another 1-1/2 to do the sleeve. However my recovery is going great. I was able to come home the day after so got some decent sleep. My only real pain right now is in my neck - probably was cranked back so long with a tube in it. Otherwise doing well. Sip sip sip! 1 Trixie82 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted June 24, 2018 Glad your surgery is over! Thank heavens you didn't know about all those complications ahead of time. You would have been worried stiff! Hope you have a smooth recovery! 2 C.marie and Katbad reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
