Topic: RE: day 3
I also had my surgery on May 11th, and things do get better. I feel better and better every day. It definitely helps when I get on the scale and see the pounds going down :-)
Hang in there.

Topic: RE: day 3
Hey you are not alone. I would not wish that pain on my worst enemy. I just had my surgery, VBG, on May 6th. Today is the best day so far. I am up and out and about ( been shopping in a few stores). I must say that I still cannot sit straight up for a long time but I am getting back to my old self. Also, as of yesterday which made 1 week and 1 day since my surgery I have been officially hungry. I am still doing the sipping, ice pops, protein shakes, and cream soups but hopefully after I see the doc tomorrow for my 10 day follow up I can progress to the puree stage.
Topic: RE: Any regrets?
no regrets!!! i was sleeved on may 11th, and i never thought of getting the band. but i'm happy and cant wait to move this weight of my body..
good luck to you..

Topic: RE: VBG revision
Yes. that happened to me. The band is too tight and needs to be replaced or removed.
Topic: RE: Would you do it again?
100% YES!!!
I wish we did know more back in 1991 when I had mine, but through the years I had managed to have 2 kids and kept off the weight. It's only been the past couple years I started have food stuck issues and resorted to what I now know is called "slider foods" and regained some.
My staples have now come undone and my surgeon is giving me a revision to the sleeve, but I would take whichever procedure over again because I am healthy and enjoying life!!!
The best decision I've ever made was having WLS.

Topic: RE: Would you do it again?
Absolutely, just sooner! I've never been happier, healthier, and had such an amazing experience along the way! It is much easier than I anticipated, or maybe I am just used to my lifestyle now. It feels so good to feel SO good!
Topic: RE: Any regrets?
no no no no no no NO regrets! except that i had not taken this action (had VSG) sooner.
