Hi all! I was banded in 2005, lost about 80 lb or so and then stayed there for years. Had a baby and then started gaining like crazy. turned out the band had slipped and caused a lot of esophageal issues so i'm getting a revision to RNY, though i'm freaked out about it.

was set for 5/15 and then yesterday, scheduler called and said to be ready for next Tuesday, the 8th! i am very unsettled, like i'm not ready. Any other revision folks like this? This has happened so fast that I am still worried that I won't be successful.

You can always say, "no thank you" and tell them you want to keep your 5/15 surgery date. It's normal to have pre-op anxiety, but you shouldn't have to feel additional stress because they want to move up your date.

Best wishes for a smooth surgery & recovery!

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!
