lap band to RNY -- any advice?

I am scheduled to have lap band removed/revised to RNY the end of June.  Any advice for me? 

I am having mines done monday good luck and be blessed

I cant give you any advice but I am going through the same thing right now.  I dont have a date yet though. I have to have an EGD on June 2nd. Hopefully after that I will know something. Why are you getting a revision?

My advice is, make them do an upper gi before you are released from the hospital. No matter what!  Just to make sure everything is flowing properly.

I had a revision from the band to RNY in August and have lost well over 100 pounds (am about 127 now). I LOVE MY RNY! Good luck!

I have just finished all of the clearances for removal of my band and revision to RNY. I wish you the best of luck! I hope that I soon will be following in your footsteps.

I just did it - 22 days ago. I am losing slowly but losing. (Actually, I am already on a plateau which is making me crazy but I am trying to be patient.) And I am only 8 pounds above the lowest I ever got with the band. My biggest suggestion is to join the yahoo group Graduate-OSSG - it was a true blessing to find this group. They post a lot and sometimes you just have to ignore the chatter but you will find an extremely knowledgable group there. These are people who have been there and done it all. They have great suggestions and are dedicated to making their RNY a success.  Otherwise, just take things slowly. Don't eat more than you should (1/2 cup at a time, 3 times a day) and do your best not to cheat. Also, drink protein drinks daily and take your vitamins NO MATTER WHAT YOUR NUTRITIONIST SAYS!

Thank you everyone for the good advice. Michele
