Well I'm now sleeved! I had my surgery on November 19th. I can't say anything better about my surgeon...he's amazing! The nurses were incredible too.

I did have a bit of an issue with the pain at first, but got that under control very quickly. I had zero pain when I had my lapband inserted so this was new to me.

I'm now at home and am being very careful of taking tiny sips of fluid and keeping it down. I want this revision to work for me. I worked the band to it's fullest potential. I lost 96 lbs with it, and then it failed, broke and almost killed me. I can't wait for what my future holds with my new sleeve. This time I WILL conquer this!!

Thanks for your support everyone!

    Hello!
    Had my surgery on the 20th. So far problems are tolerating pain med and feeling full before meeting fluid requirements. Also feel as if I can eat a little something, though I know my stomach can't tolerate it and what I went through to get to this point. How about you?

    Hi Tessa...so far my pain is manageable. Yesterday was brutal though. I could only get in about three teaspoons of soup at dinner before my stomach would cramp up and it was a no go. Today is a lot better. I am now starting to feel hunger, so I have some protein shake and that helps. Always reach for protein first! Good for you! You are doing well...keep it up!
