Hi! I am having revision from Lapband to gastric bypass this Thursday sept 30. Would love a buddy to go on this journey with! I am so beyond excited for my surgery

My surgery isn't until next month, but I just wanted to check in and say that I hope your surgery went well. ❤️

Hi, i had my revision surgery lapband to bypass on the 25th. So far so good. Hope you are ok and recovering well.

Hi! Sorry it has taken me so long to respond but I had a rough go with my surgery! And more complications then expected. But I am getting better every day! I had a lot of scar tissue from previous surgeries and my hemoglobin got very low after surgery and I had to receive several transfusion. Super scary ordeal but I’m seeing the light now and excited I’m down 20 pounds since preop diet. Good luck with you surgery!

How soon were you back up on your feet and feeling like yourself again? And what do you notice as far as restriction compared to the band?

What differences do you notice as far as restrictions and things that are easier now with the bypass instead of band?

Hi, glad you’re on the mend. I’m pretty much on my feet now. 2 weeks out now still no hunger sensation so have to get better at getting some food and drink in me. I don’t get any ‘fullness’ either. I just get bored 😐 and manage small amounts of Protein Shake. What i have loved is I have no pain which i had with the band. Even though i had no Fluid in the band, eating always hurt so don’t miss that at all. I will know more about restriction when i introduce ‘normal’ food later in the month I guess.

Have you tried eating mushy foods yet? I’m already able to eat mashed potato consistency food which I didn’t expect so quickly. I just we are traumatized by the lapband hahaha
