Hello all,

Yesterday, I talked with the Program Coordinator at my clinic and got everything scheduled. I am scheduled to have Revision surgery from Lapband to Bypass on AUGUST 7TH!!!! There's no stopping me now, this is really happening.

Thanks again for all the support,

Kelly

Thats awesome. Congratulations. Why did you choose RNY as opposed to VSG or DS?

Best of luck.

I chose RNY over VSG due to the risk of GERD. I've seen many revision patients revise from VSG to RNY down the road so I just decided I wanted to avoid that risk. Also, I've read on numerous occasions that the success of going from a restrictive procedure to the restrictive plus malabsorption is higher than restrictive to restrictive. It may not be the best option for everyone but I felt this was best for me.

I didn't consider DS into the equation at all.

Thanks

Hi, I got the lapband in 2008. I am trying to get a revision to the gastric sleeve. I have BCBS insurance and I am keeping my fingers cross they pay....Congratulations to you....what kind of problems were you having with the lap band?
