Fingers crossed...you are right at the finish line. Everything will be just fine but the wait is the hardest. Praying you get the approval soon and I'm sure he knows how important this is for you. Excited to see you on the other side.

EmergingMissP were they able to do the lap band removal and the bypass in the same surgery? I see you are having some pain, hopefully it will subside soon. Just wondering, my surgeon is going to try to do both at the same time next Tuesday. Get well soon.

yes, my surgeon was able to complete the surgery in one operation. My surgery lasted longer than normal due to a lot of scar tissue from the band(the most he had ever seen) which was apparently what was causing me to have issues all along. My pain has subsided however its still there but the doctor mentioned that this was due to the trauma my body had gone through with the Lap Band removal & RNY in one process. Today I am feeling great and have no regrets on this revision surgery wishing you the best next Tuesday good luck.

I am now a May band to bypass, received the approval today and scheduled for May 14th I am crazy excited to get this band out!
