Glad ur doing well! Had my band out Oct 15. I was tired for a week then fine. Very little pain. Due for 2nd surgery for bypass in Jan

My dr would only do it in 2 surgeries. I begged for one. He said he feels the stomach needs time to heal for the bypass to go as smoothly as possible. ( plus he's not the dr who put it in) I had my band removed OCT 15 and he plans to do the second surgery in JAN. He said I had a lot of scar tissue and my bypass pouch may be slightly bigger than a virgin stomach.

Hey everyone, I've been reading everything on this forum for at least a year but now I'm ready to officially get in the game. I'm 34 live in queens/Long Island area. I have been struggling with my weight for at least 20 years. I had lap band surgery in January of 2011. My highest weight before that was 370. I lost about 90lb on my own cuz I never reached any restriction with to band then I had to stop seeing the dr cuz off financial issues. I went all the way down to 259 and that's where I started to go right back up. Last December I saw a new doctor and decided to revise and get RNY. However I didn't get the band removed until yesterday. ( dr won't do in one surgery) I wanted to take the time to get my head in the new lifestyle. I went back up to 350 but started to practice a clean eating Lifestyle. I try to be as gluten free as possible ( found out thru allergist I am intolerant meaning gluten caused inflammatory response and palpitations in my body. Within a week of cutting back on gluten my back pain and palpitations just about went away!!! ) I'm down to 323 and want to be as close to 300 or under b4 RNY surgery. I have to wait 6 weeks between surgery. I have done most of the pre op requirements I have sleep study on thurs and I have to see psychiatrist. I hoping for first week in dec I have last pcp visit in nov. So excited/scared/ready. So hello again! ????

Thank you! How is your recovery going?
