My day is tomorrow! Band to bypass

[Dibaby44 63]

Im not too scared yet. Probably because ive been through many surgeries. I just want to get this over with. Get this band out of me finally and hoping to have real control again over food and expecially sugar. I dont want to fail this time See you all on the other side

On the other side. Relieved that its over. I was in the hospital for 2 nights. I hate this drain. Its gross. But i know its short term. Surgery took 1.5 hours. There was no problem taking out the band. I have had no nausea issues. I hated the really strong pain meds. The world was spinning. Anyways it wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be. I hope everything goes as planned here on out. Good luck to all those with upcoming surgeries.

Dibaby,

How are you feeling now? Did you get the band out and the bypass the same surgery day?

[Dibaby44 63]

Hi soexcited, yep same day. Got a two for one. I feel much better now that i got that drain out and the staples. Although tonight my left side is hurting more for some odd reason. I guess i did too much today. Anyways im down 23 pounds. Its sooo wonderful to be sleeping flat again with no reflux. Im so glad to be band free!

Did the drain hurt coming out?

[Dibaby44 63]

Drain didnt hurt much. The stiches hurt more because they were red and angry. They would get stuck. Yeah glad thats over. It still wasnt that bad though

I'm nervous about the drain!

[Dibaby44 63]

I was too. Dont be its really nothing. The worst part was carrying it around for a week
