All he best Deds,when i had my gallbladder done i put 2.9 on overnight in hospital,it moved fast though,take care

Congrats Debs on getting rid of the band.

You will enjoy being able to eat normal food again.

Thanks Kas, feeling like i turned a little corner today...day 4. Feel better than i have so far and definitely feel like i'm on the mend now. Did having your and out hurt much? Still got some gas...the tabs aren't working that great for for me for some reason...but overall feeling better today then yesterday or the day before.

Yes doc waits three months for the sleeve so hopefully april sometime...although at the moment its the last thing i'm thnking about as this surgery has not been a breeze like i thought it would be. lol I know i still want the sleeve done though, am just in that 'no not another surgery' phase. So glad the band is gone though. I had toast the other morning and no puking and no pain. Yay. How's the sleeving journey going. Weight still coming off?

Yay Debs! Big hugs for feeling so crappy though! Just think this is setting you up to breeze through the sleeve!

Phase one done!

How long before your surgeon will do the sleeve? Is it the three months?

I'm so excited for you! It's been a long time coming!

I'm sure the weight is the wind and fluids! It will drop once that degas kicks in! Love those tabs!

Thinking of you, here's to a quick recovery for you

Big hug Deb.... get well soon

Two days ago i had my band out, such a relief, but it is painful....much more so than getting the thing in! I am big bag of wind at the moment and am awaiting on an emergency stash of de-gas so i can, well...de-gas. Even my head feels full of pressure, my ears feel blocked, my lungs sore and just generally look like a swollen piggy. Port site is bloody sore and i've somehow gained four kilo's while in hospital for one night. LOL I'm hoping its wind and water and it flushes out asap as i feel so crap. Still, everyday i'm feeling a bit better and last night was able to sleep on my side even though it was quite uncomfortable. Onwards and upwards as they say.
