One more day!

Oct. 26th is my day! I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm happy, I'm emotional and I am so looking forward to waking up after surgery. I'm probably overly prepared, but better that than having surprises right? The bypass worries me less than the removal of the failed lap band. I keep having a recurrent dream that I wake up from surgery and all that was done was remove the lap band. Anyway, I hope and pray this is the answer to all my prayers of getting helth again for myself and my family. My father died when he was my age, and I don't want my son to have to live without his Dad too, and my Grandkids as well. So the hard part of the journey for me I think is nearly over, after surgery I know I will be great!

I can't wait for Monday morning. I know I'm going to have a lot of work to do after surgery, but I am really ready to get the surgery past me. I'm all on edge, can't even find something on tv to amuse me. I guess I have about 31 hours until we start! What a countdown!

Very exciting!

@@retzlpa I hope your surgery goes very smoothly and that you are delighted with your new pouch! I didn't realize you had a failed Lapband. I have two friends that had really bad fails with theirs and one friend with sleeve who now has reflux really bad. He's thinking about revision to rny. I guess I'm glad my doctor chose that for me. I was leaning to sleeve but said it was his decision and he said RNY.

Thank you! Way back in 2010 I had asked for the bypass and was told the lap band was so much better and easier. They told me once I hit the sweet spot I'd be in a whole new world of losing weight. After that it was pure chaos

I will pray that your revision surgery goes well and that it meets your expectations.

Try to have a restful day today in preparation for tomorrow. Best of luck and congrats on your revision!

I am so happy and excited for you. Best wishes for a safe surgery and speedy recovery!

P.S. I am so happy that I went with RNY! I would not change it for anything. You will do well given how prepared you are.
