Revision Surgery Tommorrow

[Soli3l 30]

So I am anxious, tommorrow is my revision surgery. I was on the lap band for 27 months and only lost 12lbs. Tommorrow, my lap band will be removed and if there is no damage to my gastrointestinal joint it will be converted to a sleeve. If there is damage then I need to wait a month for it to heal and then have part 2 of the surgery. Otherwise, I may run a high risk of leaks which is difficult to correct. Better to be safe than sorry.

Best wishes to you. I had my band for 5 years had my revision on September 10th and it is the best thing I could have done. No more worries about what you can eat and when. I will say prayers that you can do it in one surgery. Keep up posted.

Wishing you the best! i had mine in a 2 step because after 10 years I had alot of scar tissue. Who knows if it made a difference one way or another, but I had a really good recovery with no complications.

for the band removal, the worst part for me was the place where the port was - it was tender for awhile.

Keep us posted - you will love the sleeve over the band!

So I got the band removed today took 20 min, but it took 2 hrs to wake up from anesthesia. It took 6 hrs to be in/out of hospital. Clear liquid diet continues for today ???? In 4 wks I'm getting sleeve performed.
