May 16, 201511 yr Congratulations! I had my revision this past Wednesday and left the hospital today. The pain has been pretty bad for me but I keep positive and remind myself that it is all going to be worth it in a few days when the pain (hopefully) subsides and I can return to a more normal routine.

July 3, 201511 yr Congratulations! My band was removed 3 years ago and I had gastric bypass on 5/5/15. I'm not really feeling restriction and it's making me nervous. I am measuring everything and being very careful. I've lost 41 pounds. 90 to go. Best of luck to you on your journey!
July 5, 201511 yr I read somewhere the after band to bypass revision you loose weight slower than you would if you had bypass only. Are any of you finding this true? I am having my second band removed July 30 and converting yo bypass.
July 6, 201511 yr I have my approval for band to bypass. JULY 20! I am nervous & excited. The band has been a pain, literally. Hubbark1 i am interested in the answers.
July 6, 201511 yr My surgery is July 30. I am nervous and excited. It REALLY hope it works this time. I had the fill removed from my band in March and have gained 25 pounds. I am at the low end of the bmi requirement so I am curious how the weight loss will go.
July 6, 201511 yr Looking forward to hearing how u all do. I'm getting my band removed and revised to gastric just waiting on insurance.
