2 months ago I was revised from lap band to DS with D. Elariny in NOVA.  Surgery was open.
I am doing good - still learning how to use the tool - but doing good.

Lost 35 of the 100 I want to lose.  No Nausia. Pooing has gotten a lot better. Usually one big one in the am. I found that if I do not take my fiber pill then the poos are more frequent through out the day. With the pill I can pretty much KNOW that I will go in the am and maybe at home after work.

No real gas issues and I have tried pasta and rolls. Am also keeping up with my vitamins (thanks Gina !! )

I do have to do more protein AND water during the day because I come home exhausted from work and geting in half of my protein after 6pm.

Went back to work FT after 5 weeks and feel better each day. Gone down  4 sizes and so am happy.

Had a new pain develope and after ultrsound found I had a hematoma/blood/fluid sack where the lap band port was removed. It  has improved so am happy for that plus that no hernia had developed!

Thank you all for your wonderful insight, suggestions and support on the boards !

Hugs and KUDOS to you ALL !
