Hi Guys sorry I have not been on for awhile..... Just wanted to talk I had a Sleeve done Oct. 4th and I'm down 4 weeks later 28lbs..... Loving this new surgery. I went in Sept. for another unfill due to too tight once more after weeks of small fills. I battled the fill Bull@$*! too long and Dr. H looked at me and said let's do a Sleeve on you ASAP. I looked at him and said how soon can it be done.... With-in two days my ins approved me and I set the date two weeks later.... How's that for service... LOL...... Now you all know I was banded 12/17/07 and lost over 100lbs. Now that I'm Sleeved it's so much easier than the band was. So if anyone is out longer than two years and have stalled or having any trouble I so recommend the Sleeve to fix the problems. I found my recovery much easier than my band...... I feel great and have such control what I eat...... I'm so happy I did it.

thanks val, yeah, i was surprised myself, i too went for a fill like LLL and he said lets do it asap and 3 1/2 weeks later, im done. when i go to the other site for sleeve there are sooo many people switching from band to sleeve and they are all happy, i hope it all goes well with us. today i am not hungry, and my weight from the IV fluids are coming off cause i gained 9 lbs from surg and now only up 3, so that is good. im still nervouse about a leak, i guess 3 weeks is the magic number. didn't u say u didn't have a jp drain? which reminds me, i have to call for my post op.....glad ur doing well val and LLL.... and Hey to all my band siters too....HUGS vicki

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
