Shelly-G 1 Posted May 20, 2019 Hi, I'm new to the group...I have my sleeve surgery may 28 and am excited! I had the realize band in 2008 and lost 110 pounds.... But it had to be removed in 2016 due to complications. All the weight came back, along with high blood pressure and a hiatal herni. Any others out there that went from band to sleeve and had a hiatal hernia repair? Was there any issues with adhesions or scar tissue? Thanks 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gabybab 696 Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) I'm not a revision, but have had 5 abdominal surgeries prior to the sleeve. I also, had a hiatal hernia repair as well. I had a fair amount of pain in my sternum area after surgery. Drinking Water hurt for a few weeks until I healed. Today I can gulp quite a bit of water with no pain.

FullMoonFanny 4 Posted May 30, 2019 Had my sleeve surgery the 28th! Recovery has been worse than c-section. Heart burn. Sore incision sites. Hope yours went well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
