Revision on 06/21/18

I had my revision last Thursday and am feeling great other than being a being a bit sore. I'd had my band for 11 years so there was quite a bit of scar tissue and they had a little trouble getting it out. I've just completed my first week of the liquid phase.

I would just like to know from "real" people, what their experiences have been with their weight loss. Most of what is written on the internet is people writing "testimonials" for doctors.

Would really appreciate any information. Thanks

I also have the band (2008) trying to get revision for the sleeve. Did you have problems with the insurance? What kind of problems did you have with the band?

The change from clear to creamy liquids seems to have produced a lot of internal gas. The feeling full factor is different with the bypass than the sleeve and I don't have the learning curve down yet. I've probable felt a little worse the last 2 days than I have since surgery but I know it will get better. If you start hurting reach for the gas x first as that will probably fix it! Best of luck to you! I'm drink protein 20 water from Sams and a Myoplex premade protein shakes.

Thank you so much for responding. I hope you feel better soon! I'm here if you ever want to chat. Two more days for me before surgery. I'm so nervous my first surgeon who did my sleeve didn't want to go back in my belly, he said it was a mess so his boss is doing this next procedure. Wish me luck? Thanks again. I'd love to read anything you post about how your doing or what your experiences are. ??Take care

Why do you have a picc line? How much longer will you have it?

Hi, I've had PICC Line in for 12 weeks to feed and hydrate me. Idk when it will be be removed. I am at the end of my patience. This is too hard for me to deal with anymore! I wake up crying and in pain and discomfort and go to bed the same way since 3/19/18. Everything I put in my mouth hurts me or makes me sick.
