Just wondering who out there has had their Lab Band removed and then had a RnY.  I go to the Doctor next Wedensday to start the whole process over again.  I'm a little freaked out!!

Revision on 01/25/12
I revised from the band to RNY on January 25th. My recovery has been so much easier than with the band, I'm constantly surprised. I've been by fortunate that I've tolerated everything I've eaten, I haven't thrown up once and I dumped once about 2 weeks post op and it was mild. I went with the band before because I was freaked out about having my guts rerouted, but I so wish I had done RNY in the beginning. It feels so good to have the band out of my body. In hind sight, I feel so fortunate that I had the surgeon I did. He told me his stats on the bands he's placed and he only has a 10% fail rate which I think is amazing. Do some research on your surgeon and ask questions and make sure you feel comfortable with him/her and their track record. But believe me, it was the best thing I've done.
Lap band 03/09; revised to RNY 01/12
