Since I just almost died twice trying to get the sleeve, I am done. Going to try to do it the old fashioned way. Keep in touch. I am so jealous!

went for the sleeve Mach 29. Revision from the band. When they got snide, they found the band had eroded in to the inside of my stomach. All they could do was to get the band and out and repair the damage. I was lucky the

 where can. Fond Isopure?nmu surgeon wants me to drink that. 

When they tried to do the sleeve, my stomach was so messed up from the band, they couldn't do it. They had to remove part of my stomach and I am a n the hospital with a tube down my throat into my stomach. Hopefully getting out of Friday after the leak

I have been seeing a lot of posts about nausea after surgery. I have had more operations than I care to remember and as long as I give the anesthesiologist the heads up, nausea is no a problem. Will it be a problem this t

Sleeve surgery on Tuesday. Starting to get really worried about pain after surgery and the 5 or 6 weeks before things are completely healed. I worry about nausea and am really concerned about the amount of pain. And I h

i have been reading that not getting enough to water can lead to dehydration and false hunger, a I g other things, during the first two weeks on liquids after surgery.  Someone at a support (no doctor present) gave me an electrolyte replacement powder

when is the first doctor visit after the sleeve?  How often do you go in the beginning?

if anyone used Dr. Bell for the sleeve, can you tell me if he does the leak test during surgery or the next day?

A few more weeks until surgery day and I am wondering what I should bring to the hospital. I am not really a good tv person. I know that bring my phone, iPad and walker, but what else?  Robe?  Slippers? And thing else?

searching for recipie ideas with nutrition info. Lots of stuff on Pinterest, but I am new to the app and I can't find nutrition info for anything on there. What am I doing wrong?

Beginning the third week after surgery my doctor has us on yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, etc. Can I still have my protein drink for breakfast?  I use Premier Protein, which is 11 oz. Will I ha able to drink the entire thing?

Not to be dense, but why do I see so many rny people on the sleeve forum?  Aren't they very different procedures?  Do the same rules about eating apply to both?

March 29!  530am.  Can't wait. They are submitting to the insurance company, but don't anticipate any problems. Going from band to sleeve. I'll be watching what everyone eats every day and writing it down!

March 29!  They are submitting for insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Going from band to sleeve.  So excited!

I keep reading about Jave Pro. What is the deal with this? I Googled it and it seems to have a lot of caffeine.

just found this out when I had an upper GI. Will it be a problem for the surgery?

has anyone tried OA in conjunction  with surgery?  I don't want to go through this again only to gain weight back. I was wondering if it would help. My surgeon only has support group meetings once a month. 

Trying to go from band to sleeve.  Is chronic constipation a problem with the sleeve?  After I had the band for a while, I became chronically constipated.  I take probiotics twice a day, stool softeners twice a day, and

I am trying for a revision from band to sleeve.  Do you really have to crush all of your medicine?  They told me that when I got the band and I did crush it for several years, but I realized that I don't have to do that a

Anyone gone from band to sleeve?  My surgeon says that he won't do the bypass because the tissue around the sleeve becomes thickened.  Anyone been through this revision who can tell me how the sleeve feels and works for you differently than the band?</

considering a revision for lapband surgery. I have heard a lot about dumping with bypass surgery. I don't know if I can commit to never eating another cookie for the rest of my life. Now I am reading that carbs cause dumping. Can someone explain this t
