It took about 2 weeks before the hunger really came on, and now its here full on *lol*

I'm trying hard not to gain too much before the RNY - the surgeon actually had the nerve to tell me you WILL GAIN WEIGHT so try not to gain too much, so I'm trying to prove him wrong, but at the same time I'm trying to enjoy eating things I know I may not tolerate after the RNY (like chicken and steak!)

How is everything going for you??

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear you are also having issues with your port. My port kept flipping on me, so I finally insisted on the revision to RNY. I have to say the recovery after having the band removed I feel SOOO much better. The recovery time was really quick too. Within a week I was off all pain meds.

Now I'll be having RNY done on 2/23 and I can't wait

Band removal went great! I'm feeling pretty good right now I was able to cut back on pain pills within a couple of days and am down to 1 every 6-8 hours now I'll be going back to work Monday morning!

So you are having surgery tomorrow too?

I know what you mean. It took me a while to admit that I really needed a change, and it wasn't until my husband admitted he was considering RNY I really thought it out, and decided I wanted to convert. I'm lucky to have a supportive family, and my surgeon and nutritionist were all for it, so tomorrow is the day my band will be removed. I'm looking forward to being able to eat chicken and steak again without worrying if its going to come back up *lol* But I do need to be careful in the 6 week interim until I have the RNY. I'm considering that 6 week period to be my adjustment to the idea that I'm now going to have a permanent change to my anatomy!

Wanted to check in on you and see how you are doing post revision
