January 2009 I had the lap band surgery I only lost a total of 22 pounds. My lowest weight was 220 my highest is now 298 I have only gained and after having a baby my weight has gotten out of control. I knew I wanted a revision and the sleeve was my first choice but my surgeon said he would only revise to the RNY so now in 4 weeks I will be a new healthier me!!! My current weight is 255 and my surgeon wants me to "lose as much weight as possible" because he said it will be difficult to take the band out at my weight...has anyone elses dr advised them in the same manner? Also I am worried about recovery I am a stay at home mom of a 1 year old..not sure what to expect

Scared... No... nervous. ..YES!!!! I am just a little anxious I have a one year old at home and im just nervous about recovery with him...what about you when is your surgery? Are you seeing Dr. Roller and Dr Kown.

I am scheduled for the revision with Dr. Roller on monday November 4th preop oct 24th I am ready to say goodbye to this band and weight

Yes!!!

Hi all I am scheduled for a revision band to rny on Monday November 4th...happy to get rid of the band but nervous of the unknown of the rny amd my new pouch...I noticed alot of band to rny for November. good luck to everyone

I have Cigna, I was told at my first appointment after the seminar that I had to lose between 8-13 pounds in my 3 month diet in order to get approval from Cigna. I lost 17 pounds and now waiting for approval. Good luck to you
