Bye Bye Lap Band! Approved!



Recommended Posts

So I have been approved for my lap band revision to RNY. I am so excited. This band has been nothing but awful since I had it placed. I am so ready to get rid of the awful "stuck" feeling that I get even eating mashed potatoes, the pain, and the gross sliming. I only lost about 28 pounds since my ban was placed in 2011. I am getting my revision on May 2nd and I'm still a little nervous. What if I fail on this too? I've completely changed my eating these past few months and I'm not worried about that. I know I can handle the healthy eating. It's just worrying about problems that come along with an RNY. Some words of encouragement from those that have been there would be fabulous. <3

I haven't been there, but I'm having surgery tomorrow. :) I'm excited! *and freaking terrified* but I think we'll both be fine.

Good luck to all of you! Mine is this Thursday because they moved it up. I was so excited, but now I'm getting very scared and anxious. So many emotions! Lol

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
