Mine was thisv am. Doing well. My lapband caused a lot of trauma to my stomach so they haf to remove some of it but the bypass conversion was success. Not I too much pain Lisa :-)

This morning they are taking out my band and converting me to bypass. I'm both nervous and excited, but more nervous lol. Please keep me in ur prayers. Lisa :-)

Leaving for hospital in an hour! Please pray for me. I'm not too nervous yet but I know it's getting worse by the minute. Lisa :-)

Surgery in the morning! My hospital has free Wi-Fi so I will update y'all as soon as I am able. Please pray for me! Getting nervous but still excited too! Lisa :-)

Mine was to shrink liver. One week liquid diet. Lisa :-)

I pray the Lord guides the surgeon's hands and He keeps you in His arm's during our difficult times! Whether you believe or not God is Alive and He is who I will pray to. May His will be done. Lisa :-)

Hopefully everything will be smooth from now on! Lisa :-)

Awesome weight loss! Is everything going smoothly? How was your recovery? Lisa :-)

I cheated. Today I had a slice of cheese. Yesterday I had a small piece of chicken from panda express and a couple days ago I had 3 frys. I'm so bad! :-( Lisa :-)

Tomorrow is all Clear liquids for me. Starting to get excited and nervous. Tonight I've had pure Water poops every hour so I took an Imodium. I'm sure it's an effect of the liquid diet. So far I'm down 9 lbs. Any suggestions on what to pack for hospital? Lisa :-)

You've got my prayers! I'll let you know how it works for me! Lisa :-)

Just 3 more days for me! Lisa :-)

I got down to 198 but I am back at 240 now. Well I'm 233 this morning, the liquid diet has shed 7 lbs so far. I am now diabetic and wasn't when I got the band and I'm praying the bypass will resolve this for me. I feel I need the bypass to keep me from cheating. I need the dumping that it will hopefully provide. I'm also looking forward to finally feeling full after eating small amounts of food. I have a 3yr old and I want to be able to play with her without being out of breath after 2 min. I pray we both do well and please keep in contact! I'm also on Facebook as lisa Zaccone McGowin and my email is lisamcgowin@yahoo.com Lisa :-)

I was banded in 2006 and over the course of a year I lost 40lbs but then it stopped working. I too have small arms and legs and am huge in midsection. I look like I'm pregnant. I wish I had done rny to begin with but was too scared at the time. They are taking out the band and revising to rny all at the same time next Tuesday! I hope this time I can lose all the weight and keep it off! Lisa :-)

I too am a band to bypass. Mine is Dec 4th. I'm just so scared that this won't work. Would love to hear some success stories! Lisa :-)

I am converting from band to bypass Dec 4th. Would love an answer to that question too! Lisa :-)

I highly recommend premier protein in chocolate. You can buy it at Sam's or Costco. Lisa :-)

I'm a revision from band to bypass too! Mine is Dec 4th Lisa :-)

Congrats!! Mine was approved in less than a week, I have United healthcare Lisa :-)

The premier Protein drinks are 30 grams per drink and they are premade and only 1 gram of sugar. Only 5 grams of carbs and 160 calories. I am drinking 2 a day and also Water and sugar free popsicle's. It's very hard but I have lost 5 lbs so far. 4 more days of the diet to go then it's surgery time! Lisa :-)
