Tomorrow is the day...band to bypass revision for me. I'm very emotional today but so excited! I'd like to keep posting here as i think it keeps one focused and grounded so I'll let you know how things are going in a few days when I get home.

Thanks msspicey for the kind thoughts!

Well one week ago today, i was about to be taken in to the OR. The week had many ups and downs, but mainly ups. The first 2 days were really hard. I'm a revision patient so the pain was much worse this time for me than with the band. When you hear "a little better each day", believe that.

Had to sty 2 nights and have a drain, again because of the revision. Today I start blenderized food, all liquids prior. Also need to start the 30/60 rule as well. Just wanted to update. I see my surgeon on Thursday and decided not to weigh myself till then. All in all, going very well....

I was so happy to hear that your surgery was successful . Just take care of your self and follow the doctor instructions. I have mine on Good Friday. It was that date at first then it was changed to the second. I was suppose to have my surgery,originally October 8 2014, but 2 days before I had to have open heart surgery.

I went to have my pre-op testing 3/30/15, and to my surprise I had to take another test for my heart. I called my surgeon's nurse an she told me to still count on the 3rd, unless I hear from the other doctor. So hopefully, I will have a successful surgery. I am very nervous. So keep in touch and let us how you are doing.

By the way what is the 30/60? Is it the way we eat and drink?

Msspicey- Wow you sure have been through alot recently. I wish you all the best on Friday and can't wait ti hear from you after

Yes, on the 30/60 rule. I need to stop drinking 30 minutes prior to eating and wait 60 afterwards. The 60 part is a bigger challenge but I know this is a very crucial part in staying full in the long run. Not really hungry much now due to the recent surgery.

Take care
