It is wonderful to hear u will be getting a second chance at enjoying the freedom of losing weight. I hope your bypass get you to your goal weight. Good luck????
Hi, my name is Tammy and I live in South Tx, I have had a lap-band since 2007 but 2 months ago it slipped and due to my surgeon from 2007 no longer being on my insurance I had to seek out new surgeon, so after finally seeing him as a new pt and confirming the band slipped, I am preparing to have a revision, removing lap-band and having gastric bypass...I have completed the Cardiac clearance stress test, echo, PFT, psych eval and nutrition class on Wednesday and I have my appt for an EGD on Nov 14. When all the pre-op testing is complete I can hopefully set the surgery date. That's my story so far, I will update when I get more surgery info.
