Just scheduled my surgery for this Saturday October 3 with Dr Fernando Garcia in Tijuana! This is for a revision lapband to RNY, very excited but nervous since Im going alone... Anyone scheduled Oct 3? Anyone with the same Dr or experiences with him? Thanks!

I will be having a revision at 32 BMI next month and am worried I will have a slow weight loss... I am 236 at 5'10". Id like to hear about your weight loss after revision...

Staples with dr Fernando Garcia and remove them day 3

Room temp is best. I'm day 3 post op and ice chips I suck on til water is warm before swallowing it. Cold can cause cramping.

I hear you! I'm day 3 and feel like I can get a little dizzy living off water and apple juice in the hospital. Protein will help a ton! I found some clear liquid protein drinks in Walmart that are safe for first week post op! I just don't have any with me in Mexico lol

I had a lapband slip after a year of torture I decided to revise to RNY! I'm day 3 post op and feel great. Still nervous for the future but down 3 lbs after surgery. 5'10 Lowest band weight 180 Revision surgery weight 238 3 days post op weight 235

That sounds pretty normal for loss considering you probably haven't eaten any real food or calories in a week. I'm on day 3 post op and down 3lb. But I also have a lot of bloating in my stomach. I'm in Mexico for surgery n all they give us is ice and apple juice, no protein. :/

If you are going by yourself bring an extension cord for your phone charger... I'm in the hospital now day 3 post op and it's nice to have phone by me.

Day 2 post op and feel pretty good! Only thing bothering me is my iv lol. Even after surgery and fluids I'm down 4 lbs

Hi! I had lapband to RNY yesterday! I'm 26 at 5'10 240lb. Your eye twitching is most likely due to you being tired, try to get some rest. Are you able to do any liquids or just clear?

Great job!! How tall are you? I just had surgery today lapband to RNY and weigh 240 at 5'10 so I'm curious how fast I will lose.

@@395Ron don't be too worried about after surgery!! I had surgery 12 hours ago and it was a revision so they had to pull out my lapband on top of doing RNY and I feel pretty great! I was terrified before surgery but valum they gave me helped lol. I came to hospital in Mexico by myself but there's tons of other patients here all walking the halls together and everyone feels pretty good, it's not so bad.

Surgery went well, just woke up. Sore from where lapband port was removed but otherwise good!

Thank you Edie! I'm headed to the hospital now... Heart pounding away...

I had lapband at 18, going in for revision to RNY tomorrow at age 26! I did great on lapband until a slip last year

Hey girls! I'm in Vacaville! I have bcbs but I needed a revision from lapband to RNY... They wouldn't pass it since bmi is 33... I'm at the airport now heading to Mexico for surgery tomorrow morning!! Good luck!! How old are you ladies? I'm 26 and can't wait to re-start this weight loss!

Thank you!!

I gave up on trying to get my insurance to cover it and am in the airport as we speak heading to Tijuana. $6800 for band to bypass revision... I didn't want to jump thru all the insurance hoops anymore.

In the airport headed to Mexico! Surgery in the morning!!!! So excited to get this lapband out and RNY done!

Don't have any answers yet... but I go in for band to bypass revision this Saturday... I also had tons of issues with my 8 year old lapband... I did have a good 90lb weight loss but after my pregnancy it slipped and landed me in the ER not able to swallow even spit for 5 days... lived off an IV pretty much... not fun. From what I've read the band to bypass revision people have said bypass is 100% better, you feel full, no GERD, no puking... Im very excited!

Did you have it done at CER Hospital? I booked through Tijuana Bariatrics. Did you go by yourself? Im leaving Friday by myself

I am Oct 3 Revision to RNYwith dr Fernando Garcia in Tijuana, staying at the Mariott and surgery at CER.

Oct 3!!!

Oct 3 with Dr Fernando Garcia in Tijuana! Soooo soon!

Scheduled for revision this Saturday oct 3!! Going in at 240lbs 5'10".... excited but super nervous!
