Thank you cute1. I am having a revision from the lapband to the bypass. I have had way to many issues with the band for the 13 years i have had it. My reflux is the worst part. I think i had an easier time getting approved because it is deemed necessary.

Congratulations! I bet you are very happy!

Relieved, excited, nervous and a little overwelmed with thinking all the things i gotta get lined up before surgery. Like getting someone to mow the lawn for a few weeks. Things like that. I have a friend at work that had his at least 6 years ago and he is doing great kept most the weight off. Its great to have inspiration and sites like this for support :)

My date was pushed back to June 23...doc is going on vacation on the 4th and wants to be sure he is there in case of complications. I actually need more time to get ready so its all good.

I am scheduled for a resleeve May 18th. Can't hardly wait!

Resleeve? What's that if you don't mind me asking.

Initially denied -- but my peer-to-peer should be happening RIGHT NOW!!!! Trying to remain positive.

Hello everyone, need to give an update. I didn't have surgery May 18th, was dehydrated and no one could get the IV. I had my resleeve yesterday. Everything is going well so far. I left the hospital today for the hotel that has a nurse and physician there if problems. So far I am happy and I think doing well
