Slow weight loss post-revision with lap band?

I feel like the DS recovery has been better for me.

My lapband surgeon put me on liquids for 10 days before surgery. I was so lethargic going in. I was in a good amount of pain after lapband. I did go back to work 6 days after surgery but the first 2 were hellacious and i was glad i have a mostly desk job.

I dont know if it was because i prepared myself to be in so much pain after surgery but i do know i had a much better surgeon this time and i know the technique that he uses was my saving grace.

I had very little abdominal pain and was off of narcotics 6 days after surgery (cuz i was allergic but i was done with them) then only taking 500mg of Tylenol every 4 hrs when needed. 
 
The nausea has been the only thing that has put any kind of tarnish on my healing but once i figured out i was totally lactose intolerant it has been better and the little bit that i get on occasion now is very tolerable.

Good question :) I've been wondering the same thing myself since I would like a revision as well...

I am also a band to DS revision and although sometimes I feel it is going so slow, you will see from my ticker and blog on my page that I am doing quite well.

All the best

 I had a lap band and really never lost anything with it.  I think about 15 lbs, but that was really only due to liquid diet and swelling post op.  It just never worked for me in any kind of productive way. 

I had my DS on Oct. 25th and as of this morning I was down 30 lbs.  I don't think that's slow, but I am sure it will slow down soon!  I am waiting until Tuesday to update my ticker with my official weight. 

Anyway I am sure it varies.  Lap band can definitely contribute to metabolism ******up-edness, did for me!  But the DS helps with that.  

I'm thankful every day I got rid of that band!!!

Yes I do feel my weight loss is slower. But, I can eat more with a DS than I could with the band.
