My surgery was moved up to this Friday the 28th. I am so nervous and excited all at once. I have only had to do a day and a half liquid diet because I just found out about the surgery move up at lunch today. My surgeon is not doing it laproscopic. Has any body else had it done this way? Also does anyone want to be surgery buddies?

Revision has gotta happen.

@@Pinkgirl1234 I had an upper GI done before my revision from band to bypass and I actually got to see what my esophagus looked like. The tech said it was twice the size of a normal one. Don't miss that band at all. Fingers crossed for you! Stay positive and visualize it being approved. (I'm a freak I know!)

@SunlnUT mine was dilated as well. Apparently my band was actually positioned too high in the first place then slipped up onto the esophagus.

@@Dream4tc Did you have any idea? Did it feel strange? When my surgeon got in there he said that my band was too tight and it had slipped as well. I had no clue!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
