Okay, I was released yesterday after having my band to gastric done on the 19th. I am amazed at how well I'm doing. Which I'm not complaining. The only issue I'm having is the drain tube area. It's sore but tolerable. Wish me luck.

Great job you look fantastic!!!!!

Hey Taysidebell,

I just had my revision from band to bypass on the 19th of June. I get discharged June 21, which is today. Everything went really well, not as bad as I thought it would be. I was nervous and scared too, wondering if I made the right decision. I have all these negative people in my life to do this or do that but, their not understanding the big picture of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes. When you've tried everything else. I think it's time to let some people go. But you will be just fine. Have no worries.

Thanks Brian, I'm having my surgery on the June 19th. Nervous and excited at the same time.

Hello, my gastric bypass is tomorrow and, I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Please tell me that's normal.

Hello, I find this site very helpful. My revision surgery from lap band to gastric bypass. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I forgot to mention that my surgery is tomorrow June 19, 2015. I wasn't this nervous when I had the lap band, why is that? Only a few people know about my surgery my boss, one coworker and, some of my close family members. I didn't want to hear the negative comments from others about me doing the gastric bypass. Since, I had the band slippage and chose the gastric route. I know I have a journey ahead of me but, the way I look at it as getting healthy and being there for my daughter. I could really use all the support I can get right now.
