I just had my Lap Band to Bypass revision on July 15. So so happy I did it and so wished I had done it in 2007 when my Lap Band was placed. Only lost 40 lbs, then gained back 20 over the years. I have BC/BS. My pre-op requirements were minimal due to the long weight history. First busy to surgeon 4/7, insurance approval first time, surgery 7/15. Just make sure you have a surgeon that writes really good letters. Best if luck to you!

Franyfamilia this is hard but we can do it. If dieting had been successful in the past we wouldn't need the tool of this surgery. I'm tired and grumpy and hungry but a year from now I will be able to play with my nephew and dance with my friends so this is worth it. I listen to my body...if I'm tired I sleep. It sounds like u are spread thin because you take care if everyone but it may be time to make yourself a priority and elicit help with the house and animals...46 hours until my surgery and 47 hours until you check in! We are almost there!!

Franyfamilia I am having gb surgery Monday also! I'm starving right now but found that counting the hours until surgery seems to help me lol I only have 60 more hours of starving to go

My surgery was 7/8 gastric bypass roux en y. I was very scared and nervous, I don't remember anything..lol I did have a lot of motion sickness and my blood pressure and diabetes number sored, but the doctor advise me that would go away, and it did. Before I went in to my room for pre-op, the nurse had me step on scale and it was 216lbs. The past few days I have just been really sleepy and try to take all my Vitamins and drink my Protein shakes. But I will tell you, that my CRAVING for food is gone, it use to be just the mention of a food item and I was out the door to find it and eat , now I have make a schedule to make sure I get everything it. I would tell anyone that is thinking about the surgery to pray about and then do it. I am so happy, and feel better everyday.
