in need of revision

I don't know what kind of a revision can be done from the RNY gastric bypass.  Mine was stomach stapling to the gastric bypass.  I went in knowing my doctor was planning laparaoscopic, but it could be open.  I had a lot of adhesions, so it took longer than planned, but went normal after he took care of the adhesions.  It was still lap, he didn't have to open.  My original was open.  The lap was phenomenal and easy peasy compared to the open!  I was in the hospital 2 nights, leaving Thursday (surgery Tues).  I was out of work for 5 weeks.  I had what they call a deep stitch pain for most of that 5 weeks and that was the "killer" part. 

AM I understanding from the lapband you had to be off 5 weeks? I am tryuing to go from gastric bypass to lap band. That concerns me 5 weeks. Are you doing better now and was it a success?

I didn't have the lapband.  I had a revision to the gastric by-pass/RNY.  I felt okay enough to go back after 4, except the deep stitch pain that I was having and thus I asked the doctor for another week, they said I could have 2, but I took 1, so I was off for 5 weeks.
