2nd Round on the Loser's Bench

I haven't been on this forum for awhile, so most of you won't know me.  I'm hoping to become more active on here again.

So....I am officially a loser again!  I had my lapband taken out this morning and converted to a gastric bypass.  It still hasn't really sunk in....I don't think it will until I am able to start eating again.  I converted because I had problems with the band and bad reflux, which caused my esophagus to dilate.

So far I'm doing pretty well.  My pain is tolerable.  My only real complaint right now is this stupid urinary catheter!

I can't wait to start losing weight again!!

LapBand Placed: 12/5/2006
Port Revision: 6/13/2007                                                                                                          Conversion to Gastric Bypass: 12/16/2009

Congrats on your revision. I bet you're SO excited to see how well you do with RNY.  You're like me, on the computer as soon as humanly possible in the hospital :-)  I hope you have an easy recovery, and that you come back and post more often.
