Just got my approval for revision
Once I get my approval letter in the mail this week I can call my surgeon and make an appointment. He is usually scheduling about a month out (I've had three prior surgery dates...long story, long journey) so I am hoping for a new summer start. I have had no major lapband problems and was my surgeon for that (as well as my gallbladder surgery). He has a great track record so I am hoping for a smooth transition. *breathes* Still nervous as all get out though. It only hit me yesterday. I am in a time of major stress right now so everything is kind of built up for me. Happy to be here and meeting everyone though. *waves* :)

Congrats on your approval. I'm looking to have revised surgery as well. I had open (RNY) in 2002 and since have gained weight. I live in NJ (warren county), not far from Allentown at all. I'm wondering if you would be willing to share your doctor infomation. Also, if you don't mind me asking, how long did it take?
