5 days post op
Hey y'all .
I am Jeanee. I have been a member on here for a pretty long time.
only I had the lap band...... After 7 surgeries all related to the band in one way or another, December was my final straw moment after once again stitching the band back down only to have it rip loose during sleep.
One way or another, that thing was coming out!
With my diabetes and weight gain, I was approved for the RNY.
HAD IT DONE ON Monday the 7th.
having the typical puréed foods.
Trying to go without the pain meds but man oh man.....
Day of surgery was 240.0
Looking forward to meeting others!

Welcome!! I am a band revision as well. Best decision ever. I thought the RNY pain was WAY more painful than the band.
Good luck to you!!

Congratulations on your surgery, hope you have a speedy recovery. I had my rny on 4/8 I and still taking the pain meds which is helping me to walk more each day since that was one of the main focuses the surgeon wanted me to focus on as a goal. I am going to try spreading the pain meds out more during the day today and see how that goes. Excited to start loosing.
Best of luck to us
hi Jeanee,
I had my surgery on 4/7 too! Trying to get by without the pain meds, just a couple of Tylenol.
struggling to get the protein and water in. The first day home from the hospital I did great, got all the protein and water in but then the triage nurse called and said I had too much and i am going to stretch my pouch. so i am now afraid to have anything.
Best wishes to you on this journey,
