revision

im having gastric bypass on january 25. im very excited about it but also nervous.... they are taking out my lapband and doing the bypass... anyone here has had the same problem? if u did please let me know how u did after surgery... are u in alot of pain.... please give me details...thank you

I'm having my revision surgery on Tuesday!
I had a lap band in 07 and it was removed in 08.
So while I can't tell you how it's going to feel I know for sure that our recovery from this revision will be much different from our initial band surgery.

Just curious did Dr. Lautz do your band??
Dr. Robinson (same Brigham/Faulker practice) did mine, he's awesome but for some reason referred me to Dr. Lautz for my revision... I opted to change facilities!! 
Not doubting Dr. Lautz by any means - It's just when I called to schedule (back in June 2010 - he was booked solid and his next appointment was January 21st 2011!! )

 

yes my surgery is with dr Lautz and he did my lapband and  hes removing it when i have my bypass. but im nervous because im also geting my gull bladder out and having a hernia repair thats been repaired a few times already.  i don't know if all this being done in one surgery if im going to come out ok.....

You'll come out even better than "OK"  !!! 

from what I've read, Dr. Lautz is one the top guys in the industry, and very experienced with revisions, so I'm not suprised you were referred to him. 

Good luck, I'm sure you will do great!

I had my band out and converted to VSG in Sept 2010. The recovery was harder than when I had the band put in but it was worth it. Good luck!
