I have a date!

I will finally get rid of this stupid bad and revise to bypass on September 23rd. I'm very excited and yet very nervous. I daily go back and forth about the decision. I worry about the surgery itself and all the re-routing. I worry about learning how to deal with head hunger. I worry about loosing hair as my hair is already painfully thin on top. I look forward to having this constant pain from the band gone and getting myself to be as healthy as I possibly can. I've already worked on making sure I exercise at least 4 times a week and have changed many of my eating habits so I'm feeling good about that. I appreciate all I read on this site and all the support people give each other. Here we go.........

Congrats

You will do fine and enjoy getting rid of the band problems.

I too was nervous on my revision, but it opened a new world for me and wish I had found a Dr. years ago that knew how to do this.

Thank you! I appreciate the hearing all the positive outcomes. 

Congratulations.

Everyone has doubts, but in the end you'll be very, very glad you did this.

Thank you! I'm sure you are right. 

Hi, Congrats on your date!!  We have very similar stories. My doc is G.Dean Roye at Miriam Hosp. My band came out 3 years ago. I'm waiting for a date for RnY. 

You are so close too! Do you go to any of the support groups locally? That's a mistake I made with the band. I want to make sure I go to the meetings after and throughout the process. 

I've attended many throughout this 9+ year journey. My schedule often conflicts with the meetings, I mainly rely on on-line support and support of bypass surgery friends.

Congrats and best wishes
