Got my nasty lap band taken out and had gastric by pass surgery today! I'm so happy! I'm sore but it's not bad at all, been up walking around, this is my new beginning! Yay!

I went to the doctor to start this process of getting my lapband taken out and getting gastric bypass on April 19th, I have my surgery date for May 14! I can't wait to get this band out of me. I lost around 100 lbs the first year I had it then I couldn't keep things down I was throwing up a lot, kept going back to my doctor cause I started gaining weight back he asked my why I failed.... I felt terrible I thought I was the only one, that's how he made me feel anyway. I found a new doctor and he said they take out the lapband all the time , it's the band that failed. Reading all your posts I'm feeling better and looking forward to a positive new beginning.

I'm getting my lapband taken out and getting gastric bypass may 14th, looking for someone to keep in touch with through this expierenc. I'm in Arizona:)

Congrats!! I'm so excited for u!!!

I didn't have to do the diet thing for 6 months where I had the band I was approved with in two weeks

Congrats! I'm excited for u! I had the band removed and bypass all in one, I'm wiped out easily, and where my port was is sore but nothing I can't handle , I was glad to get it done all at once.

Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for u!

I'm home now, I'm so happy!!! I'm sore and get tired easy but I can handle this all I can see moving forward is positive! Knowing that lapband is out of me is awesome!!!!

Where my port was is very sore but manageable , I'm waiting on the doctor to get here so I can go home. Can't wait to go home and get all comfy

I'm excited for u! Had it today at 8am I feel great! The toughest part was the iv haha
