LapBand to Bypass... I'm nervous I won't lose :-( Reassurance for the second time...
Hi friends! My revision surgery is monday, April 30. I have a LapBand (2007) and I did great on it until it slipped. My doc made me go on liquids for 10 days to unslip it instead of removing it.... and then he went out of business and I was without a doc for years. I managed to get a complete unfill since I wasn't able to keep anything down, and of course gained all my lost weight back. SO I'm finally getting a revision! Hooray!!!... except for nerves.
Has anyone had experience losing after a revision? I've heard it is slow... I'm good at following the rules (on my 2nd day of liquids pre-op, no issues other than being cranky lol). Let me hear from you?
Thanks guys!

Don't worry...I've had no trouble losing after my revision. I had LB in June 07, it slipped and was removed in 2009. He was supposed to replace the band, but I woke up without a band at all. He said I wasn't a good candidate for LB now. Boo!
Im seven years out with my RNY, and weighed 139 today. I keep lowering my goal WT as I find it is possible that lose more. Lol
