Bye Bye Lap Band! Approved!

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
