Hi @@QO_1, I'm also a revision from lapband to RNY. My surgery is scheduled for next Friday the 6th. I'm so excited to be done but also very nervous. Good luck to you and let me know how everything goes for you!!! Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Stellastar85 Priscilla, I only have Clear liquids the day before surgery. I consider myself very lucky, I feel for everyone on the two weeks or more. When is your surgery scheduled?? Mine is May 6th. Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Doc'sWife Wow I guess there are more people than I thought going through this. I have a lot of anxiety about this just because the lap band didn't work out for me but at the same time I can't wait to start this new life. I'm going to put everything I have into making this work for me. Good luck to you and we should definitely keep in touch, I would love to have someone to talk to that knows what I'm going through.

@@UsernameTaken yay so happy for you. I'm also revision from band to bypass. My surgery is May 6th so you aren't too far behind me. We should definitely keep in touch since we are going through the same exact thing. Please let me know how everything goes and message me anytime if you want to talk more. Heather

Awesome @@atowne04, I'm May 6th also!!! Good luck to you and everyone else. Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Nicki, I'm having revision from lapband to bypass and I can tell you, I wish I would have just gone with the bypass to begin with. For me, the gas pains from having the lapband was terrible and I'm not looking forward to that again and the lapband didn't work at all for me. I do have a sweet tooth so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I dump to keep me away from those foods, not that I'm even thinking of having those things anytime soon after my surgery. Ultimately the choice is yours and you have to do what makes you feel comfortable. Good luck in your journey!!! Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome!!!! Thanks for the info. Good luck with your surgery!!! Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Jenn, I just have a quick question. I don't have a pre op diet either but was thinking maybe I would do a week or so also. Would you just go on a liquid diet for that week? I'm just not sure what I should do. Thanks, Heather Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You are definitely not alone!!! I feel the exact same way you do. I've had nothing but problems with my band also and I have a fear of failing at the rny too. My surgery is scheduled for May 6th so can't really help out with some of your questions but for me it really helps knowing that we aren't alone in this journey. Just to know that someone else knows what I'm going through helps me out a lot. If you ever want to talk just private message me. Good luck to you and keep us updated on everything!!!

I'm curious - why no pre op diet? Sent from my MT2L03 using the BariatricPal App i honestly don't know why, this office just doesn't require one. I will be on a clear liquid diet day before surgery but that's it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congrats!!!! I'm May6th so we are pretty close!!! Good luck!!! Heather
