A revision - lapband to RNY story! 4 hrs in surgery

[pamela 10]

Welp! I’m 4 days post op. I had a revision from lapband to RNY and it was much more than anticipated!
My surgeon told me I needed to have my gallbladder out at the same time (I had gallstones) so I was prepared for that but once he got in there he found A LOT of scar tissue from the lapband (mind you, it’s been 20yrs since I got it) and then a hernia!!!! So I was in surgery for 4 hours! I feel as good as expected I guess but wanted to give everyone a heads up… just be prepared for the unexpected! ❤️

I’m hoping to have revision to either GS or RNY from my lap band which is 11 years old & caused me problems.
