This makes me so happy to read. I just had band to bypass on 9/11. One week out and I feel physically okay, but depressed and nervous.

Hi Ladies,

I'm in Oakland and having lap band to bypass revision on 9/11. Looking for buddies for support on this journey.

Walk, walk, walk! It helps with the gas, as well as laying on your left side if you can. Mine didn't show up for 24 hours, but then it tapered off after day 4. I would be OK, then full of gas. fart up a storm, then fine again. Rinse and repeat.

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. On 9/11 my lap-band is coming out and I'm having bypass. This is due to esophageal erosion, heartburn and a hiatal hernia that just won't quit. I've never made it to slender, but I've been happy with my size. I'm looking for folks on a similar journey for support. Thanks!

I'm converting on 9/11. Eroded esophagus, heartburn and a fear of regaining all my weight.

I'm not a big Breakfast person... It's typically a cup of coffee (which I'll be trying to give up post surgery, much to my chagrin). I usually eat a yogurt or some nuts a couple of hours after I get to work. My band has always been tight in the morning, then looser as the day goes on.

Hello I was banded Aug/09. I have Barrett's esophagus as result from the band. I got the band out in 2015 when I had to get my gallbladder removed. I gain more weight then I ever have. So September 18 is my surgery date for RNY. I struggled so long with this weight and I need to do something about it. The sleeve was first choice until I heard so many people talk about heart burn well I already have it bad so bypass it is. Good luck with your decision. You have to do what's right for you.

Personally I found this sooooo much easier post op ! Follow your surgeons directions and remember to eat slowly ! I still do not touch sugar and VERY little carbs ! No carbonations either ! Best of luck and feel free to reach out with any questions !

That's the procedure I'm having done on 9/11... lap band removal to gastric bypass. Mine hasn't failed, per se, but it did erode my esophagus and my GERD is awful!
