Band to bypass surgery date!

[lf1227 129]

I can't believe it!! I got the call yesterday from my dr that my insurance is covering both the band removal and the bypass revision.

Wednesday April 5th is the fucking day!

I am so happy, I have suffered so long with the band I am ready for this!

So happy for you!! I suffered a long time with my band too. Initially did well, but then it slipped and I had to live throwing up all the time for two years (while pregnant too!). Unfortunately I put all the weight back on plus 10lbs cause all I cold eat were slider foods.
I had my revision oct 3 and have almost lost all the weight I regained! So excited to get back to where I was and keep this loser bus going!!! This time it seems much easier (no stuck feelings).
Love my bypass!!
Good luck on your journey!

Great to hear! I got my band out Feb 8, after having it for 6 years. My surgeon wants to wait 3 months to allow healing time before doing the bypass. My next meeting with him is May 5. Hoping to get surgery scheduled end of May!

Congrats to you ! I had a band in for 9 years [emoji37] my band ended up coming a part and turning into a huge hot mess of scar tissue , along with a small ulceration and hiatal hernia . I had band to RNY last July 29th - I am down 90 lbs and working in my last 30 . You will not regret this at all . Yes life is different but in so many ways better ! I don't miss sugar and am learning to love how I look ! Good luck on your sx date and keep us posted !
