My surgery is scheduled. Now for the worry part....will this work? I pray this is the answer after this darn band! 5 years of trying to make it work, vomiting, stuck, pain, sliming....horrible. I hope to meet some longer term revisionistas who can tell me this works! This will finally help me!

I have had a band for 5 years with minimal success. I had an appointment with a surgeon last week and they are working to get an approval. I have United Healthcare with WLS benefits.

how long did the revision surgery take?
ColoradoChick replied to wintobethin's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I think mine was about 2.5 hours. -
Hi Everyone! Sorry I have not posted in some time. One of my incision sites became infected and I have been sick. I am finally getting better and my fever has broken. I hope you all are doing great!

I began purée today. I had cream of wheat for breakfast and potato soup for dinner. It went fine and I feel great, totally full feeling.

I am 6 days post op today and am having really no problems except for diarrhea. I am still on liquids except for one small serving of creamed soup this evening. Does anyone else have this issue? Sorry for the TMI!

My surgery was great. The pain was less than when I got the lap band. I am home and tired but getting better everyday. No hungry at all.

I am still in the hospital but hope to go home today. I have to get my oxygen Sats up to 92 and I am at 91.

I am on day two of my clear liquid diet. I am so happy I only have to do this for three days, I have no idea how you all do it for longer! I am starving!! I went to the hospital and did my pre-admission paperwork and met with the anesthesiologist. Wednesday is almost here!

I started my liquid diet today. Surgery day is getting so close! Wednesday is the big day for my Lapband to RNY revision.

Any June revisions out there?
ColoradoChick replied to iamworthit's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
My liquid diet is 3 days. I don't know waft I would do with a month of liquids!! I am just scared about the surgery period! My surgeon didn't even mention the possibility of not doing the revision so hopefully he will not find a reason for it not to happen. Good luck!! -
I will be here next week!

I had my appointment today with the cardiologist. I passed with flying colors and received his blessing for my surgery next week! I hope all of you are doing well!
