Good luck Holly!!! Hopefully your surgery will go as well as mine!  Try to get up and walk alot, I felt that helped me out tremendously.  I brought my ipod to the hospital and was going up and down the coridors as much as I could.  I have been home since Thurs. and have been trying to keep busy, I can honestly say that I am close to normal.

I will keep you in my prayer!

Good Luck!

who did your surgery?  I'm in RI too and going for a revision .. hopefully.   Jumping through hoops with meetings and appointments prior to applying for the insurance approval.

 I had Dr. Roye... I was almost afraid to go back to him for the revision... you know the whole feeling like a failure thing.. but he's been great....

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
