Home from Surgery - Band to bypass!

[Harleychic13 11]

Hi, I had my surgery yesterday. All went well and I am home from the hospital. Doc removed the band and port and did my bypass. I honestly have to say that for me this was easier than when I got the band 6 years ago. Yes I have some discomfort, but overall the surgery was great. I was up walking a few hours after they took me to my room. I was really scared and these forums helped so much. Thank you all for helping me get through this stage.

We are just about the same! I had my band about 6 years ago and just revised to rny yesterday. The initial time in recovery was so much worse, but now I'm really starting to feel good. I am feeling hungry, though, are you?

[Harleychic13 11]

No, I am not hungry at all. Was starving preop!

Hi, I had my band removed and rny done last Thursday, so happy to get rid of that thing, lol. I'm 7 days out and so far (please may it continue), I've had no problems. No real pain, like you say, discomfort but not pain. Good luck with the post-op liquid diet, it's tedious and boring but all for a good reason, lol and I guess it won't last forever
