10 years POST OP now...just 3 weeks PREOP

That's correct...10 years ago in September 1996 I had a Molina band installed in Houston, Texas On March 12, 2007, Dr. Ken Cleveland of CMMC in Jackson, MS will be my hero with a revision and change from the band to the RNY. I am so darn excited. The road to this point took two years and the death of my mother from Acid Reflux induced Esophogeal Cancer. Yes, Acid Reflux caused my mothers Cancer and my acid reflux is so bad that my surviving dad who is 81 years old is helping pay the out-of-pocket expenses. He lost the love of his life in my mother (they were married for 59 years) and doesn't want to risk losing his baby daughter too. Keep your fingers crossed and pray for me!! Love, Beth aka QueenB~n~MS

Elizabeth, My prayers and best wishes go out to you and yours. My rny is also on March 12th. please keep us updated on how you are doing. Maryellen

Wow....best of luck to you. I will be 3 days behind you with my procedure. One of the patient advocates, at the practice I am going to, had a banding revised about 3 years ago. She commented that it was like trading in a go cart for a Porche. I will be thinking about you on the 12th. Take care and keep us updated. Dave
