    Cool New Member - Just Had Surgery

    Hello,

    I’m a new member who had sleeve gastrectomy last Wednesday. I’m in my 50’s and had a lapband about eight years ago that didn’t work. I had it removed four months ago. I’ve got diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. I’m looking forward to getting off all these meds. My starting weight in February for the bariatric program was 348 and I got down to 327 the month before surgery with optifast.

    I'm off work for four weeks to recover and am focused on getting my fluids and protein in. So far except for some nausea and soreness I’m feeling pretty good.

    I had the band too and did not work. I am on my Day 11 with the sleeve.
    Rest and have lots of fluids. I could not sleep that good for the first few days so the recliner was my friend.
    It is better now on well blended foods.

    I think you will be thrilled with your results! Most people do get off the meds for the conditions you described. Best of luck to you!

    Sorry to hear about the band. It is pretty common to see band to sleeve conversions. You will see that it is a huge difference in how you feel and your ability to lose weight.
