Sleeve Revision Oct 21st Thank you god! My little Rant :)
I got great responses from my last post asking people for their stories about the band to sleeve. I'm a 4 year post op bander! Now my time has come where I get this ridiculous man made mess out of me! You served me good for 3.5years and not you have brought me nothing but hell!From slippage to stretching to now no restriction I can not wait to let go of you!! I have done everything you have asked of me and have lost 120lbs from living with you these past years and I thank you for it. Until you slipped, stretched and decided you no longer wanted to give me restriction I say my goodbyes and I hope I can get you removed and my new partner VGS the same day!! **anyone with any comforting support tactics and stories please feel free to respond! You are greatly appreciated!
So far so good, down 11 lbs, the drain came out today and I feel so much better...I still feel a bit like someone beat me up but the Dr. said that was very normal at 4-5 days out and I should feel better every day from now on...I have another 14 to lose from what i gained when the band was removed....feel good my friend...
My surgery went really well. 1 week today! Days 4 and 5 were the most challenging for me but day 6 was turn around! I feel amazing!! It's crazy, I am so happy.
The weight is coming off, a little disappointed this morning, 4.6 pounds in 1 week. I was really hoping for more, but since my 2 day pre-op diet I am down 14.6, so that is great!
Just had my swallowing test for leaks today, the doctor doing the test said I can't believe you had surgery a week ago, it's unbeleivable. He said I can tell you now, you are sitting here and doing really well, you have no leaks, but we did the test anyway, LOL. So glad that drink is over...Could have just puked that out , just terrible, but it's over. Good luck to you, what's new on your end?
