I had my revision surgery on 6/30 from band to RNY. I was banded in 2005. I lost 100 lbs and kept off about 85. Then started having reflux, ulcers, and gastritis. Through an EGD the doctor found the band was partially obstructed. Before band, I was 450lbs so I was no where near goal. Finally made the decision and found the right doctor for revision.
So here I am, 8 days post op. I feel so different this time! So motivated and following all instructions to a "t". Just looking for support to stay that way. I'm determined not to hide this time. Anxiety kept me from going groups last time or even looking for support. I still felt I was not "good" enough or didn't "fit."
Having a buddy (or several!) I think will really help!!! Would love to hear from someone!

. I do know the feeling! I was so anxious in the last month! I kept worrying about everything that would keep me from having the surgery or of course, what may go wrong. Staying busy helped for sure. And reading that other people were feeling exactly like me! It is great to know you are not alone! Great to have you as a buddy!

Thanks! Better to be safe anyway I guess. I tried the ricotta and marinara blended for lunch and it was yum!! Everything is tasting so good. Even yogurt flavors I never really cared for before. Since being on liquids for so long, it's all amazing!

I totally felt like that too! Before my surgery-6/30- I was cleaning everything, like you said, nesting or preparing everything for my return home. I even would redo things, like folding and refolding clothes or rearranging drawers over again. I think it was my mind trying to get prepared. Glad I'm not the only one!
