Yay!!! So exciting :) glad to hear you'll have your sis to take care of you...thats great that she will know what u are going through did she also have a revision

No she didn't have a revision. She went right to RNY. She did have problems with the anesthesia. She was hospitalized for 5 days. My youngest sister also had RNY but she is younger and has been doing great. Do you know anything about the drain that's left in when you the the hospital?

Well I hope that sets your mind at ease. One less thing to worry about is always a good idea.

Well I am one month out. Lapband to RNY revision surgery scheduled May 13th. I am two weeks post op from cervical disc replacement surgery. I still have pain. Good thing I had this surgery first because I have really needed the Motrin and aspirin.. Hope I am pain free in two weeks when I have to stop those meds.

Lots of luck to you - I just had my revision from band (2003) to bypass (4/2/13) and am LOVING the bypass so far. Finally, hope again! :)

Surgery scheduled for Monday 13th. I'm surprised but I'm getting a little apprehensive, and I've had a lot of surgeries.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
