I have to admit the revision was more painful than having the band put in originally. I was on pain meds in the hospital and for the first week when I got home I was still on pain meds. The removal spot for the port hurt like hell. I also went home with a drain that was another inconvenience, which only hurt if I accidentally snagged it. This hurt more overall in that I was having to roll off my bed from lieing on my back which required alot of upper body strength and minimal use of my core muscles. I only had the pain for about a week or so and I was on liquid tylenol with codeine before I left the hospital. After the first week I was only taking it to get to sleep at night. This recovery seemed to take me longer overall, after about 2 weeks with band I was up and moving like normal. At three weeks with RNY I was still very tired and not able to drink near as much as I had with the previous surgery.

I had the band out in a separate surgery. That surgery wasn't particularly painful. I went home like an hour after, and the only thing that really bothered me was where the port was.
The RNY surgery was a bit rougher than I thought it would be, and I had it done 4 weeks after the band removal. That surgery was about a 6.5 - 7. The worst pain I have ever felt was the pain from my adhesions, which have since been removed. That was a 10.
