    Lap band to gastric bypass

    Oh one thing I wasn’t prepared for was pain. I thought with this being laparoscopic it would be a breeze. However they move your stomach muscles a lot on lower left side that it really hurt to move at all for a good 3-4 weeks. I still moved but I just didn’t think it was going to hurt as much as old way of being cut wide open.

    Lap band to gastric bypass

    I had my revision on October 18 and am down 32 lbs since then. I found not a lot of difference, the original band surgery had prepared me quite well. Just the mind set of eating the really really small meals again and no drinking with meals an adjustment again. I know was always supposed to be doing it but after 21 years I had gotten into that bad habit again.
  3. HI all, I had revision from banding to bypass in October and I feel like there is something in my throat constantly on the left side ever since. Does anyone else have this issue. I also have gotten sick once and maybe TMI; but how else do you find these things out.... when I was sick my vomit only came out the right side of my throat. Wondering if anyone has had this experience or should I be concerned????
  4. Turned out sinus infection and nasal drip was causing irritation to my throat. Thanks all for the confirmation that I wasn’t losing my mind.
  5. I had both of those out as a kid; so nope.

    Lap band to gastric bypass

    I had banding done in 2001 and revision done in October 2019. I have to say I feel very underinformed about the differences in the surgery. Eating has gone well and I no longer have the acid reflux or vomiting issues I did with the band. SO I consider the surgery a success.
