Hi! I'm new! Been reading blogs for the last couple of weeks and now it's time to post :-). Band to RNY revision on 2/19/13 so please add me to your Fab Febs :-)

I have 4 kids (12 girl, 10 boy, 7 boy, and 3 girl). Happily married for 16 years.

You all are so amazing and inspiring! Your amazing journeys are awesome to follow as I venture on mine. I did not have to do any Pre-op diet for my band in 2007. This time I have a new to me and MUCH better doc for revision to RNY.

I started the liver reduction diet Jan 31 then went to liquid only on Feb 11. Tomorrow is Clear Liquids only then Tuesday is the BIG DAY! I won't know for sure I got the RNY til I wake up abs someone tells me. My doc scheduled both procedures - band and port removal then RNY for same OR time block. 4 to 4 1/2 hours! Doesn't that seen long?! I know that's total time for the OR which included prep, surgery, and clean up. Anyone else with something similar?

I'm nervous, anxious, excited all at the same time. Thanks for letting me join your group!

And welcome softballmom!!!

Tomorrow morning, 8am, can't wait! I'm so ready for this, but I'm also nervous. I'm glad to see everyone whose already had their surgery in Feb is doing well. Can't wait to be over with this and start my new path.

There's several of us band to bypass folks lurking around . I unfortunately had to have an urgent band removal secondary to prolapse in August, he was going to revise to RNY but when I woke up from surgery mom had the horrible job of telling me I had to much damage and inflammation from my damn band to do the revision and I had to wait 6 months for my RNY....that sucked!!!! But I'll be a week post op tomorrow so it all works out!!!! Glad you joined our group!!!!!

welcome Tiffany it's a huge, exciting, nerve wracking decision but just by making the decision you are so much closer to a healthier you!!!! My best advice, just start reading! There's tons and tons of info on here. From diet and exercise, to relationships. You name it, someone here has probably been through it!!! I'd probably start under the basics for gastric bypass for beginners. There's a zillions pre-op threads (this is one of them) where people who are thinking about getting the surgery or are in the process and waiting for surgery talk and a zillion post-op threads from those of us lucky enough to be on the flip side. Jump I'm anywhere. Most people around here are happy to offer suggestions, opinions, or a shoulder to cry on!!!!

Any idea how long it will take you? Do you have the dreaded 6 months of weigh ins for your insurance???

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 240

No my insurance approved me already! Next step is the one weight management class and losing 15 lbs before surgery... I'm really scared but that's to be expected I'm sure! My surgeon said after insurance sends them papers back I should be on the operating table next month sometime! And thanks for the advice I will start reading where you said to. I've kinda just been skimming over things and reading them.

Tomorrow morning is my pre-op appointment. I am really stressed out about work because my temp just started on Friday. Worried about what they will be checking at the doctors. What if they cancel me?

Pop Tylenol tonite and in morn and drink Water..... U should be fine. I remember bp and weight being taken not temp... But every dr differs

I have my pre-op appt tomorrow as well. I have my date set for February 28th; I hope they don't cancel me. They told me its a long session about 4 hours or so. I'm also wondering what all goes on.

Wow u must be meeting w everyone not just dr. Maybe blood work too....
