lap band gone, and now have gastric bypass

I had my lap band taken out on tuesday morning and then the dr did the gastric bypass(same dr.)  on me....i am soooo excited to get on with my life. all the pain was worth it.

Congrats! Hope you have a swift recovery from surgery!

I thought you had a gastric bypass in the first place?  Anyway, congratulations on getting rid of that choke collar and chances of living a much better life!

no i was originally scheduled to have the RNY up at OHSU. but they started and then aborted the surgery before they even made the 3rd incision.stating that i had some liver issues. yada yada yada. so then i found a new surgeon, had the lap band, a joke if you ask me. then had one bad experience after another with the band. needless to say they took it out and gave me the RNY like i originally wanted. yay. now i am home healing nicely. btw, new surgeon says there is absolutely nothing wrong with my liver. go figure.

Wow!  Best of luck to you.
