I had my band in 2007 and in August I had it removed (it failed).  I'm going in for RNY on the 13th of February.  I'm a bit scared and excited.  I know I did well when I got the band and aside from it slipping and the issues from that I did well with all the dos and don'ts.

Congrats to you all and keep your fingers crossed for me.

You will be so much happier with the RNY - trust me - if you could learn to live successfully with the band - the RNY is easier so far - having said that you are more accountable with what goes in your mouth with the RNY - so keep that in mind.

I'm scheduled to get my lapband in July & I think you're the first person who answered most of all my questions. Wow you should be so so proud of yourself your doing amazing already starting to feel like a new pp. it's a wonderful feeling. I can't wait. And hearing your story right after surgery is so motivating I can't wait. How much have you've lost know? And what's a normal day of eating for you? And exercise?

I actually had my LapBand removed - and revised to Gastric Bypass - looks like you are getting a lap band?

I despised my lap band - and so glad to be rid of it

I eat approx 1 cup at a time - but to be honest I have not felt any restriction for weeks - but I am still careful what I eat.

3 meals per day - usually 2 snacks - but some times I don't have snacks

Some days I am never hungry - other days I am famished (which usually means I will be down on the scale the next morning :))

Good luck with your surgery:)
