Having revision from lap band to RNY!!

Love Love Love my Revision to bypass!!! DON'T BE SCARED!!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE it.........................

I had a Lapband to RNY revision on 07/31 and am doing great. It went very smoothly and I was in minimal pain. Two months out tomorrow and my weight is down 46 pounds including 17 on 2 week pre-op diet. I am now back to "normal" food. It is different than RNY. For me, I eat much less and am less hungry. I am pretty intolerant of sugar (which I am happy with). It's good to be band free. I have had no episodes of foaming, nausea or stuck food. I have had about 4 dumping episodes from sugar. Now that I understand that, I monitor the food and make safer choices where sugar is involved. Did you know many of the no fat Greek yogurts has a good bit of sugar? Read the labels. -- Tom

Thank you all you made me feel a lot better.

Hello All -

I was banded in January of 2010 - i'm scheduled for revision on Oct 22! I'm scared and excited!!
