Newbie to the boards revision from lap band to Rny!

[Martinmommy3 7]

Hi I'm Traneé from Houston Texas! I'm scheduled for a revision from lap band to rny next Tuesday April 30th due to a slipped band. Very ready to get this band out and start on my new journey with rny!!

I'm considered a light weight so I'm a little worried the weight won't come off as quick as it should :-/

Thanks,

Traneé

Usually with less weight to lose you do lose slower..,,just kinda how it works. Life without a band is AWESOME!!!!!

Hi there I am new t this forum too. Also going for band to bypass revision on the 13 may 2013. I live in Australia...the bypass here is not really that common..can't wait to get rid of this band...I am also classified as a light weight. 102 kgs. I think that's about 215 pounds.. 5 7" Any body got any tips for me..thanks. And good luck. Would be good to compare notes in a month or so.!!!

I'm also a lightweight who went from band to bypass. My revision surgery was December 10, 2012. I am losing slower than most but am thrilled with the 57 lbs I've lost. My doc says that usually the lightweights lose slower but get closer to goal. I'm 63 so I also have the effect of age on my slow loss. Slow and steady (except for those darned plateaus!) for me. Good luck to everyone pre- and post-surgery!
