3 days until revision!

[hunkin702 10]

Banded 2010, revision to bypass on Thursday 2/3/15.. (Depending on scar tissue) Doctor has me on complete liquid diet for the next 2 days. I'm getting a little nervous. I know I've already had WLS once, but it seems strangely different this time. I can't explain it. Has anyone else experienced mixed emotions?

Best of luck! I'm 4 weeks out from revision. It's very different this time around. My recovery was honestly much better for this procedure, not sure why. I feel so much better having that darn port out of me, too!!

[hunkin702 10]

Wow, that's great news! I can only hope I'm as blessed as you were. I worry about scar tissue and waking up with just the band gone and nothing else!!!

I too worried!!! I had my revision from band to bypass done in May 2014 and honestly it was the easiest surgery I ever had! I think the key was I walked immediately and kept walking. Very minimal pain and I was home 12 hours after surgery. I am 4 pounds from a normal BMI now when I woke up from the surgery (had it done all at once) I was convinced I didn't have the bypass done because I felt so awesome hahaha

Allielee. Yes I heard the key is walking walking and more walking. Good thing I have two little kids that will make me walk lol. I have to stay overnight ????.

Wow, I was kept for 2 nights after the surgery. I was told that they're more cautious with revision patients. I was up and out of bed walking the halls about 4 hours after surgery. I kept getting up and walking. That really helped move the gas. Gas pain was the only real pain I had!

I have the sleeve and real bad acid reflux so I find out tomorrow if they are going to do gastric bypass

I had revision from band to RNY on January 23, 2015. I stayed 2 days in the hospital. I was off heavy pain medicine the next morning. I walked right way and kept walking. I sipped Water every 15 minutes. I know I am very lucky and thank god for a relatively easy recovery. I had very little pain, quick recovery and I'm down 26 lbs. already. I have been following my doctors orders to a "T". I wish I had done the RNY the first time, but I was too scared. This has been one of the best decisions I've made! I wish you the best of luck!

I was banded in 2011 and also had some scar tissue. My surgery took 3 hrs. The site of my port removal is by far my worst pain site. Im day 3 postop. How about you?

[teamskinny_keea 70]

I haven't had it yet still waiting on the doctor they still don't no what's wrong

The band surgery was much worse for me then The RNY. So happy

Has the pain improved? I am leaving towards sleeve to bypass revision because of bad GERD/Barrett's and I am worried about the recovery. Why did you have your revision done?
