Hi everyone my name is Danielle. I had the revision from lap band to gastric bypass done on September 6 , 2016. I had the band done in 2009 and had so many problems with it from vomiting to constant chest pain. When I tried to return to my surgeon he went out of practice due to many lawsuits that were ahead of him. I tried a GI doctor having a endoscopy and med treatments. That helped temporarily. Then my grandmother had dementia so I dedicated my life to helping my mom with her care at home until her passing. Just searching one day I found a office and made a appointment. When the Surgeon told me that he could fix it i was so overwhelmed with Joy. I went through the pre op process which took 7 months. On my surgery day after my surgery he came to my room to talk to me instead of the 2 hours it took 4 and a half hours because the lap band was embedded in my stomach but he said he was determined to get it done and he sure did! That night after I was awake and although I was in pain I walked and when I got to my room I walked and walked. I tolerated the po challenge of one liter the next day and 2 hours later I was discharged. I am so thankful and happy to find this app and happy to see some people are around my surgery date and especially the people who have had it done before are here to help us whom have just entered the journey. Ps. Has anyone had problems with cold feet?

Thank you I will have to try that ????

Thank you so much. Yes seems like post op I was having hot flashes and now I get cold especially my feet. I will have to take that up with the surgeon this week Yes I cannot wait for the second phase I am more of a savory person lol. How are you making out I am so glad to have found this site.

I know it's the worst feeling ever 4 days for me. It felt like I won the lottery lol
