Surgery was successful. Surgeon said my stomach had a lot of trauma from th band and they had to remove some of my stomach. But he was able to do the bypass. I'm in some pain now but not tremendous. Lisa :-)

Mine was thisv am. Doing well. My lapband caused a lot of trauma to my stomach so they haf to remove some of it but the bypass conversion was success. Not I too much pain Lisa :-)

Leaving for hospital in an hour! Please pray for me. I'm not too nervous yet but I know it's getting worse by the minute. Lisa :-)

Surgery in the morning! My hospital has free Wi-Fi so I will update y'all as soon as I am able. Please pray for me! Getting nervous but still excited too! Lisa :-)

Mine was to shrink liver. One week liquid diet. Lisa :-)

Tomorrow is all Clear liquids for me. Starting to get excited and nervous. Tonight I've had pure Water poops every hour so I took an Imodium. I'm sure it's an effect of the liquid diet. So far I'm down 9 lbs. Any suggestions on what to pack for hospital? Lisa :-)

I pray the Lord guides the surgeon's hands and He keeps you in His arm's during our difficult times! Whether you believe or not God is Alive and He is who I will pray to. May His will be done. Lisa :-)

Hopefully everything will be smooth from now on! Lisa :-)

Awesome weight loss! Is everything going smoothly? How was your recovery? Lisa :-)

I cheated. Today I had a slice of cheese. Yesterday I had a small piece of chicken from panda express and a couple days ago I had 3 frys. I'm so bad! :-( Lisa :-)

I'm still starving. I'm tired and a bit shakey. But only 5 more days. My surgery is Dec 4th. I am converting from lapband to bypass. Lisa

You've got my prayers! I'll let you know how it works for me! Lisa :-)

Just 3 more days for me! Lisa :-)

I got down to 198 but I am back at 240 now. Well I'm 233 this morning, the liquid diet has shed 7 lbs so far. I am now diabetic and wasn't when I got the band and I'm praying the bypass will resolve this for me. I feel I need the bypass to keep me from cheating. I need the dumping that it will hopefully provide. I'm also looking forward to finally feeling full after eating small amounts of food. I have a 3yr old and I want to be able to play with her without being out of breath after 2 min. I pray we both do well and please keep in contact! I'm also on Facebook as lisa Zaccone McGowin and my email is lisamcgowin@yahoo.com Lisa :-)

I was banded in 2006 and over the course of a year I lost 40lbs but then it stopped working. I too have small arms and legs and am huge in midsection. I look like I'm pregnant. I wish I had done rny to begin with but was too scared at the time. They are taking out the band and revising to rny all at the same time next Tuesday! I hope this time I can lose all the weight and keep it off! Lisa :-)

I too am a band to bypass. Mine is Dec 4th. I'm just so scared that this won't work. Would love to hear some success stories! Lisa :-)

I am converting from band to bypass Dec 4th. Would love an answer to that question too! Lisa :-)

I highly recommend premier protein in chocolate. You can buy it at Sam's or Costco. Lisa :-)

I'm a revision from band to bypass too! Mine is Dec 4th Lisa :-)

Congrats!! Mine was approved in less than a week, I have United healthcare Lisa :-)
