Just got my surgery date! Please share any words of wisdom you can about surgery day and your recovery. My surgery is on a Monday. Expected hospital stay is 1 night. Any advice on how many days I will need round the clock care? And for those who have done the Robar diet ahead of surgery please share your fav foods and the worse one. TIA!

My dr said the area needs to heal before doing the bypass. I thought that was the norm but now I am wondering. hmmmm.
And yea mine suddenly got too tight after not having an adjustment in probably 5 years. Had to have some Fluid removed and felt much better. Have also been having a big problem with night coughs for over a year now and have tried allergy, asthma, and reflux treatments to no avail. Hoping that the removal will help relieve my cough. I have been reading about others with a band having this problem too.

1 week til the start of my new journey! Lapband removal then waiting 4-6 months to get a bypass. I have had my band for almost 11 years and it will be hard to say goodbye
Anyone else go thru this and have any struggles to share with me about that in between time? Thanks!

Hi All, I am curious as to which foods you have found you can no longer eat after surgery for whatever reason. List away and thx!

Thanks for all the tips and well wishes guys! Just picked up my robar and skipped the Soups :). Never even thought of asking to stay another night if I did not feel I was ready so nice to know. Met with my surgeon yesterday and was surprised to hear that most folks don't need narcotics for pain and since other surgeries I have had did (like rotator cuff repair) then this must be easier than that
Fluttetbybj - congrats and it is normal to feel nervous just remember why you started this journey and do not 2nd guess yourself.
