Any October surgeries out there...

Good luck with your surgery Skin!

Thanks Rnjs,

Day 2 of recovery in hospital now and definitely feeling more human. The first few hours were rough but I think that may have been due to lots of scar tissue from my band. Look forward to hearing how you go.

Starting my 2 week preop liquid diet tomorrow! Unusually excited. . .lol, guess because it means the process has officially begun.

I got my surgery date!! October 15th!! Can't wait...I am so excited to begin this new chapter in my life. I am a revision from a lap band which I had on October 13, 2009....just over 4 years to the day. I will have the lap band removed and the bypass done on the same day.

Note to those about to start the liquid diet: add Benefiber to your shakes and other liquids.

It is amazing to me how many revisions are being done from Band to RYN Bypass. My Band has been loosened for 2 yrs (because of the acid reflux), but I also will have it removed at same time as Bypass. And, mine is within the month of 5 yrs of having the band. I feel like those 5 yrs could have been a little different if the Band had work as promised (just a little ticked about that). But, looking forward to all the focus needed to support this effort. Good luck to you on the 15th.

Why? Do protien shakes stop you up?

They have for me. No Fiber to move things along, if you get my drift. :-)

I'm having no problem going. No benefiber needed here
