Everything went fantastic this morning. I am in a very nice private room and have been sucking on ice chips since I woke up. I've already had my first walk up and down the hall!

So I was supposed to get band removed then converted to bypass on 1/19/13 but the band did not agree with my body and I had too much scar tissue to get to my stomach. So they just removed my band which took 2hrs. So now I'm rescheduled for late may early June. So I have to do another liquid diet in 4 months and be in pain again. I wish I would have never gotten the band and just went with the bypass 7 months ago

I'm so sorry

I hated my band in the end and I was terrified I would need two surgeries. I hope you heal quickly from the removal and that the next 6 months go by quickly.

I had band to bypass on Jan 14 th also..... Let kit....lost @ 10lbs so far....

I also had band to bypass Jan 14 th....lost @10 lbs so far, still kinda sore...

[tzbandtobypass 48]

I am down 18 pounds but I have at least 100 to lose, so it'a nice to get the first 18 out of the way so quickly! With the band every time I lost weight, I would go down a big chunk and then back up a few. It was a constant yo-yo. I sure hope this is different and the pounds stay gone!!

Oh and I am also still sore - that port incision is my largest one and it really hurts. I had that problem when they put the stupid thing in too!

My port site bugged me for 6 weeks when I had the beast removed in August!!!! It was really the only spot that bothered me at all....per my surgeon 'it takes a lot of scraping to get the port off the abdominal wall'....yeah, that just sounds painful!!!!!

Hey band to bypassers keep me posted I've got to go through the same thing in may or June. My port hurts all the time. I go to see my Adoc next Thursday.
