Did I hear you correctly...

After going through the pre-op approval process and talking with family members, I had decided that I would not persue revision so aggressively.  Having not communicated with my doctor's office in over three weeks, I figured, "Out of sight, out of mind" until I got a call yesterday.  I was told that I had been approved for a revision - from band to bypass.

So, how do I feel? !  My sister says, "Go for it!" My best friend says  for guidance, and my dear husband, doesn't like the idea at all - due to plastic surgery during Christmas of 2004 that left me very ill.

Any advice that could calm my nerves, my surgery date is Dec. 30 (possibly sooner if I can move the date due to winter recess) .

Hey there!  Only you can decide what's best for YOU.  If it's the right choice you will have peace regarding it.  Good luck on your decision

I read a bit of your profile....if it were me, I'd pray about it and seek the revision. 

I agree... I dont know anything about revision, so I wouldnt dare open my mouth to advise someone. so with that said you have to make the decision for you. Sincerely pray about the situation. I wish you the best in whatever you choose.

I just revised from band to bypass and it is not an easy decision. I am with your best friend pray for guidance. Best wishes to you whatever you decide.

There is a revision forum that would probably help with your decicion...Good luck either way.
