Revision done in one or two surgeries?
Buy a cold compress bag (the type you fill with ice)and an electric heating pad.I had the all in one revision with hernia repair .though but worth it.

Frustrated with People
I had the lapband the fused to my organs...I revised to the bypass.Are you getting bypass or sleeve?You need to stop worrying about nonsense and get a grip on your health.Bypass,DS, or Sleeve?

Can't Decide About Surgery!
We are all on here because we have opted for some form of WLS.As far as conventional .If you were able to maintain or go conventional you would not be 150 pounds overweight.Do your research with the knowledge that 150 pounds of excess weight is shortening your life.If you overeat then dumping will happen.You have to take control.No more excuses.Focus on the positive of each procedure and see a qualified surgeon and seek a bariatric program where you can meet people who have had WLS.

Revision from lapband to Bypass Dec 28,2015....very sore,aching,scarred but ok...still on the full liquid phase because I don't want to push forward too fast in the phases....64 ounces is a bit tough and getting my protein is a bit tough....slowly progressing and each day gets a bit better.Very happy.
