Nervous about revision

I was recently approved for a revision with my former surgeon in Atlanta (Dr. Burrowes). He said the revision will take about 4 hours....has anyone had a bypass revision and how did it go and how long were you in surgery? I am sooooooo nervous.

I was revised from a band to the RNY on the table 3.5 hours it has been great.

It's pretty normal to be nervous, I had a revision from a RNY to a DS with a cholecystectomy and appendectomy and it took my surgeon 2 hours.

 What do you have now and what are you looking to revise to?

I had a RNY in 2004....my doctor wants to re-do it - using the "Fobi Pouch" (? - whi*****luded a ring?).....(readjusting and rerouting).....He said depending on the scar tissue it could take a long time........I am really, really nervous about it....I have also had a TT....has anyone had a revision AFTER having a TT??

Thanks for your help
