    I use a straw. It really helps me. I told my MD and he said as long as it doesn’t increase gas in stomach and cause pain it’s fine. Michelle Post op revision band to bypass 9-28-17 Sw 276 Day of surgery 252 Cw 248 Goal Healthy BMI 154.

    Emotional Rollercoaster

    I had something similar happen to me. I know waiting was the hardest part for me. I finally get my approval and in 15 days post op now. Chin up..
  14. Do you know why your experiencing stomach pain. Do you have a lot of weight to lose. Requirements were similar to when I had lap band in 2011. Michelle Post op revision band to bypass 9-28-17 Sw 276 Day of surgery 252 Cw 248 Goal Healthy BMI 154.
  15. Hi from NC, i had lap band to RNY bypass 14 days ago. I'm here if you have any questions. I had lots of complications with my lap band and vomited daily. The RNY bypass is way different so far. No issues or complications yet.

    Take 2

    I had a lap band to RNY revision on 9-28. my story is similar to yours with the lap band. The RNY is very different. It's not the same feeling. I would do it all over again. My wait was 4 month from start to revision. I was 252 on surgery date and I'm 242 today. Best of luck.

  19. Also, as you lose weight we move and walk differently using muscles we have not previously used which can also cause more pain. Michelle Post op revision band to bypass 9-28-17 Sw 276 Day of surgery 252 Cw 248 Goal Healthy BMI 154.

      I'm doing great. So far I can tell the RNY is better for me. I don't vomit foods like I did with the band.

    what to buy for preop

    Each surgeon has different requirements. I had 13 days of 3 protein shakes and two lean cuisines a day. Last day I was on clear liquids and bowel prep.

    Protein drinks

    I also buy them at Costco or Sams in the large case.

    Protein drinks

    I drink premier protein drinks. 30 grams protein per drink and best tasting by far.
  24. Hello all, I had lap band surgery almost exactly 6 years ago. Initially weight loss was decent but I've had issues with the band since day one. I pb or vomit almost every meal. I have no fluid in the band and regained all the weight I originally lost. I started the revision process late April. I got approved by BCBS for gastric bypass last Friday. Surgery date Aug 28th. Pre op diet starting today. Wish me luck. I'm excited. Anyone else having a revision around the same time? Michelle Pre-op revision band to bypass Starting weight 275 Healthy BMI 154.
