I am over the moon with excitement about my band to RNY revision! I just wanted to share my joy with all of you! After dealing with all the ups and downs and run arounds with my former surgeon's office (Dr. Daniel Swartz) and moving to a new surgeon (Dr. Kelvin Higa) to start all over, I could not be happier with how quickly and efficiently I have my new surgery scheduled!!

I feel so wonderful. I am ready to start prepping my body and life for this change and finally see the results I had hoped for when I first went under the knife.

Wish me luck!!

Good luck today lapnicky!!!! You are in my thoughts! I wish you a speedy recovery. Let us all know how you're doing once you're well enough.

Glad to hear your doing really well. It's the count down for me. Pre op is Tuesday and surgery 2/10. Did you find out why you had to have a drain? Maybe Dr. Higa does them on all his sleeves? I'll have to find out if it's routine with him on Tuesday. I've had a drain before so if I get one no biggie I guess. I look forward to seeing your progress and I'll post as soon as I can after surgery. Cheers to you!!

Day 5. Doing well. Only stayed one night in the hospital, surgery was about 2 hours long, haven't needed to take my pain meds since Friday. I have a drain in, which I didn't expect. Its kind of annoying to deal with but it comes out on Thursday. I can't wait. I'm soooo bored of broth and sugar free whatever at this point and I find myself preoccupied with thoughts of food but I hear that's normal and goes away after you can start to eat more normal again. Been walking a lot and taking it slow. FHSH was a great hospital and my nurse, Hai, the first night was great. You'll do well. Just follow doctors orders, try to walk as much as you can and get your fluids. You're in good hands with ALSA.
