pebulz

They said nothing so idk maybe somehow they drain it during surgery

Ok called my Drs office this am cause this is all that i have been able to think about and thank god he does not use drainage tubes....whewwwwwww relieved lol

Thank god i only have a $50 copay

Thanks for sharing momlambert and marla ....its so nice hearing from others that were in similar situations.....im sooooo nervous about the surgery and if this is actually gonna work for me ...im 357lbs and cant imagine ever being in the 100s

I had the band in 2006 and lost about 120lbs 3 years later my dad passed away and i gained about 20lbs back then in 2010 got pregnant and gained almost 100lbs during my pregnancy then last april i had to have a new band put in because mine had formed a pouch above the band and have gained about 25lbs since then so now i am set to have the band removed and bypass done on april 16th !

Was looking to see if their is a list anywhere of who is band to bypass and how long its been since they had the revision

Yeah i could never be a nurse i cant even listen to a story about something semi gross or i'll be sick lol

I couldnt agree more...except my surgery is next month and Im sooooo nauseus right now I know if its needed its to help me have a healthy life its just i literally have the weakest stomach with stuff like this Im sick just reading about it lol

OMG now Im totally FREAKING out...I have the quesiest (sp?) stomach EVER and I KNOW i will not be able to stomach a drainage tube....my sister had one when she had a c-section and i couldnt even look at her and you couldnt even see anything ......oh man how the heck i am gonna do this OMG OMG OMG

So u ate normal food right up til surgery day? Im wondering is there a reason most drs give a pre op diet or liquid diet? Im nervous that maybe its better to not have food in your stomach when u have the surgery....like how long does it take to completely empty out lol i know prob a crazy question haha

Yeah i also had 2 bands already also are u on a preop diet? My dr never put me on one

Was that after a revision?

Did u lose any weight and keep it off with the band? How much are you hoping to lose with the bypass?

I know i have a hard time believing i can actually be considered average weight lol

Yeah i am having a hard time cuz im having my band taken out the same day and it's hard for me to eat what im supposed to i can eat cookies crackers chips anything crunchy with no problem but sometimes cant get anything good down

What was your weight day of rny? If u dont mind me asking .....my weight is 357 now more than before lapband

Thanks for adding me to the list

Thanks im just curious...hoping it is realistic...i dont want to be skinny but id sure love to be in the 100s

Me too!

Hmmm no replies at all lol

I have heard some say you dont lose as much if bypass is your second WLS ...is that because alot of people have lost some of their weight with the lapband ? I am so nervous about the bypass and am all ready to do it but not so sure if its gonna be worth it if I cant lose at least 150lbs

i am also worried i wont loose as much as people who just do the bypass but i have ALOT to loose so maybe that will make a difference
