Hi all want to give you an update I had my surgery June 25, 2014 its been almost 3 month post op, all is fine. I have lost 21lbs so far, but know that on the day of surgery I was only 194lbs, had to have an RNY due to problems I had due to the band then having my stomach plicated. The good new is my A1C was 7.9 when I had blood work in July now its 6.9 so its going in the right direction. I feel great just have to up my vitamins and start some weight training. LOL

Hi;I too had my surgery last Wednesday, I am doing fine also just get tired easily. Just trying to get through this phase of eating thining out my puree food. I know this two will pass.

Hi had my surgery the 25th of this month, I started Saturday with the lose stool like you said watery. I did not know I had this much stuff in me. I see my surgeon today so I will be mentioning this. I think this is normal things just coming back to life.

Also try prune juice natural and you will go more easy on the insides.

Hi ladies came home yesterday from surgery had it June 25th. All went well had a big blood clot but he was able to seal it off. I am a Jehovah witness so he was very careful. He told me that my some parts of my stomach was unfolding, he had placated my stomach. Thst was the reason I was in so much pain. Thank you all for the prayers. All in all little pain and so far no trouble dring my fluidd.

Today is the day leaving for the hospital around 8:30 I could walk to the hospital but I'll let my mom and sister take me.I feel good about this my husband prayed with me before he left for work. Ill post afterwards.

My surgery is this Wednesday, I been celebrating our 28 wedding anniversary this weekend, its on Friday. I only have to do a two day liquid diet. I have to do the lovenox injections twice a day. The doc forgot to tell me to stop taking my hormone pills. If I would have stop taking them a month ago I would have killed somebody.i am nervous so please say a prayer for me. I know that I have a good doc Alan Posner,Buffalo,NY having it done at Buffalo General.

Hi my sisters, I am consider a light weight for gastric bypass surgery, I am having surgery on the 25th of this month, I went today for my pre-op testing. I am 5'6 and I weight 199lbs, I can hear it you don't weight enough. This is not true, I have type two diabetes and high blood pressure, hypothyroid, and Mr. Arthur in my knee, along with bad GERD and Reflux. I had the lab band, and then he plicated my stomach(folded my stomach). I have read that it will truly make a difference with the diabetes and I have more success with it. I have been on so many diets since the age of 12 and now I am 49 going on 50 this year. I want to get and be fit and healthy.

Went today for all my pre-testing I am having surgery on the June 25.

What part of the upstate are you from? I live in Buffalo,NY

Hi all I am schedule for June 25,2014 if all go well.

Hi all I too had the lab band in 2003 and had to have it remove in 2012 due to the reflux, I currently weight 200 at 5'6 I am have surgery June 25. I too am a little scared but with the power of prayer all will be fine.

Hi I had lap band done in 2003 I weighed 220 I am 5'6 with type two diabetes, high bp,hypothyroidism. My lowest weight was 165. I was so tight I could not eat and the reflux was so bad. I was unfilled and filled we played this came for a while. In 2012 I was back to 200lbs I had the band removed, the doctor plicated my stomach, saying it will help the Gerd, and reflux it did not, and no weight loss.My A1C is back up to 7.. I had Endoscope last Friday, he told me that he will do the rny, I am scheduled for June 25,2014. I am 49 and a little scared, this my story.

I had the lab band removed after 9 years in 2012 little success I was 220 and got down to 170, then the reflux started and the weight gain. Had it removed and then had my stomach plicated with no success and still reflux and pain. I weight 199 now and 5'6, currently I am back on two meds for my diabetes, and I have high bp. Doctor said the only way to relieve my symptoms is to have a gastic by pass. Any one else been through this.

Hi NY, I am from Buffalo,NY I will have not told many about it either, if some one ask then yes I will tell.

So far I am down 7lbs, but I just had knee surgery yesterday my knee is swollen. In much pain.

I just had my band removed and plication done. Most of the pain is gone, more soreness then pain. So far I am done 8lbs. Day of surgery I was 198, my doctore told me to start on purée foods for two weeks than soft for a week then regular foods. I don't really know the different from purée and soft? If you chew the soft foods long enough it is purée . I had it done aug 8, 12. I will keep you posted.

Hi I am new to this site been lurking around for a moment. I had the lab band in for 9 years, I never did reach my goal weight, and never could get adjusted correctly. So with a bmi of 30, high bp, and diabetic, I am having the band removed and plication done on the 8 of August . My doctor did not tell me to go on any pre-op diet yet and my weight. Is 198lbs. I am a little nervous because most have the sleeve.

We talk and he told me all that was out there, and I decide to go for plication , if it don't work along the way then I will deal with it then.
