Trying to decide if I should just remove my band, or convert
Vironica replied to loridee11's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hello, The best day for me to have the lap band out and the next best day was to have the bypass! This is much better. The band did do damage inside! I had the bypass May 22 2017. I also gained lbs!! Not happy. Weight is coming off slow but I'm in for the long haul, life style change. Good luck on your decision. Vironica Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I had been banded in 2009 as well. Had it out Jan.2017. Then had the bypass May 22, 2017. At this time I really feel no different. I am very glad I did the bypass. I have had no dumping and feel great. Weight is very slow coming off but I'm in for the long haul. SO glad the band is out! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

HI everyone, I just had my Lap Band out 2 weeks ago. I am into the healing stage. So in 3 months I'll have the bypass. Excited. Has anyone out there that has gone down this path? Would love to hear it went for you. Are you happier with the bypass. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Tell them you want to be HEALTHY! You are excited and feel at this time in your life, this is what you are doing. Tell them you have done alot of research (hope you have) and now you need their support and love. Be positive. Good luck

That is exactly how I feel. I do feel the bypass is the way to go. I have done alot of research and feel good with my decision. I do need to be more committed. It wasn't all the bands fault, I have to take part of the blame for the failure. So this time I really have to work on a life style. I am starting now! I am so happy for you also!! My date is May 15th Yayyyyy . How about you?
