Did anyone had the band removed and bypass done the same day?

I did on january 29 ,2013 !

Proud mommy to three amazing babies!

Tried but too much damage, had to wait 6 months between....still glad I did it!

Dec 5, 2012 I had the band removed and the bypass at the same time, also had an ovary, cyst, mass and a lot of scar tissue removed. I am so glad I was able to have both done at the same time.

I think it just depends on your doctor and the amount of damage done by the band. Hopefully you can have both at the same time.

I g

Had to wait 2 months

Mine is scheduled for same day on March 21. I really hope they don't find too much damage and can get it done.

My doc had told me before hand there was a small chance he wouldn't be able to do the conversion but really expected it to be fine....I cannot tell you how broken hearted I was when I woke up and mom told me he'd had to delay the RNY....hopeless, I felt so hopeless. However, here I am 11 days post op from the RNY finally!!! I can't help but occasionally think where I'd be now if I was 6 months post-op....but he said with all the inflammation I had, he would have had to have made my pouches Bigger to get a safe staple line....I do not need a bigger pouch thank you very much!!!! so likely you'll all be fine and able to do it all in 1 surgery, but even if you can't, it's still worth it!!!

Thanks. I hope that if I get the same news I have the persistence and commitment to keep at it like you did.

I mourned for 2weeks and gained 25 pounds in the 6 months between....still working to get that off! But I needed to do this for me! (Plus the holidays were a blast got to eat all the yummy terrible stuff one last time!!!). Honestly though, I felt SO much better just having that stupid band out of me....after I got over my 2 weeks of mourning I felt the bet I had in 3 years and just decided to enjoy myself til my 6 months was up....couldn't change what had happened so might as well moveon!

Yeah. My band has been completely unfilled for a month now and I have gained five pounds. That's why I have had to put myself on a pre op diet even though the surgeon said it's not necessary. It's a struggle when the band had kept you from eating real food for so long. I'm still tight even unfilled but can get food down now.
