my revision from lap band to rny is June 12th and I was told 2 hours for surgery.

I think mine was about 2.5 hours.

I think mine was about 2.5 hours.

How are you feeling? Did you ha r a lot of scar tissue? I am scared they wont be able to do the RNY at the same time. Mine is scheduled for june 12th

The nurse coordinator at my hospital tour said a routine laparoscopic RNY with my doc takes about 2 hours and unless there is extensive damage, the band removal only adds about 20-30 minutes. So 2 1/2 hours sounds about right.

I had my band out then revision 6 months later, revision was almost 4 hours due to scar tissue and a surprise small hiatal hernia (took exactly 1 stitch to fix). Stupid band just made everything more of a challenge.

I had my band out on April 18th. They were supposed to do RnY same time, but I had too much scar tissue. Having by bypass this Wednesday. My lap band/scar tissue removal took about 1.5 hours... She said my RnY will take about 2 hours at least- maybe more depending on scar tissue.

My revision took 6 hours.
