Revision from lapband to rny

I had a lapband- 9-16-08, and it as a problem from day one. Within a year I was starting to look into a revision. I finally was approved to start my journey into RNY land in June 2010. By summers end I had almost all my requirements met. But had to be past my two year mark before they'd officially start me. So I had to wait... then they decided theyd' need a EGD. That had actually improved regardless of the reflux I had with the band.

Long story short I got my new date the day after Thanksgiving.... 1-11-11 was my day.... which came and went really fast.

I'm one week post op, eating by the letter of my surgeons orders, and I've already dropped 20 pounds. In a week????? I already know I dump, on sodium. Beef broth and tomato cream soup.... OMG i feel awful after them.

Nice to meet you all.

I haven't dumped on anything yet, but I haven't tried too much other than jello and the protein shakes. I'm so scared of dumping! I tried a little bit of mashed potatoes last night and that went down well. Good luck Teri! I also had my surgery on 1/11/11!

I dumped on cream of potato soup on Sunday. It was horrible! The worst feeling in the world. I had my RNY on the 11th as well So glad this board is now open!
