I see that your surgery date is getting close. I hope you're excited. I had the revision from band to RNY done back in October. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! I have already lost close to 50 pounds, and that's with me doing a move from GA to AK and having to eat on the road for three months. You are going to be amazed at how much easier it is to have the RNY than the band. I wish you the best of luck!!!
