Hi everyone, I am 6 days post OP. I had a 10 year old lap-band removed due to slippage and decided to do a revision surgery to the sleeve. I had wonderful results with my band and lost over 150 lbs. So, when my band slipped after 10 years, I was total devastated. I am completely happy with my decision and look forward to maintaining the hard work to loose and maintain my weight over the past 10 years.
Now that I am in my recover stage, I feel wonderful and I'm even back at work and doing my normal daily activities, while staying within the lift, pull and push guide lines. I have two concerns. First, when I sit up from laying down in bed, turn to the left or bend over to pick something up I get a pain in my stomach area. I was wondering if any one has experienced the same kind of muscle pain. I probably would not be as concerned except the day after surgery I had a tickle in my throat which caused me to go into a couching fit which hurt like no tomorrow. Since I have not seen anyone else mention muscle pain, I hope I did not compromise or tear my sleeve while it was still in the newly closed stage. Second concern, I am still on my clear liquid diet. I find that I have not had a full feeling from drinking to much liquid or eating jello. Is this also common, since it is purely liquid and once I start on the Full liquid diet in a few days I will have the full stomach feeling.
Thank you in advance for your response and helping set my mind at ease.
