Oct. 26th is my day! I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm happy, I'm emotional and I am so looking forward to waking up after surgery. I'm probably overly prepared, but better that than having surprises right? The bypass worries me less than the removal of the failed lap band. I keep having a recurrent dream that I wake up from surgery and all that was done was remove the lap band. Anyway, I hope and pray this is the answer to all my prayers of getting helth again for myself and my family. My father died when he was my age, and I don't want my son to have to live without his Dad too, and my Grandkids as well. So the hard part of the journey for me I think is nearly over, after surgery I know I will be great!

I can't wait for Monday morning. I know I'm going to have a lot of work to do after surgery, but I am really ready to get the surgery past me. I'm all on edge, can't even find something on tv to amuse me. I guess I have about 31 hours until we start! What a countdown!

@@retzlpa I hope your surgery goes very smoothly and that you are delighted with your new pouch! I didn't realize you had a failed Lapband. I have two friends that had really bad fails with theirs and one friend with sleeve who now has reflux really bad. He's thinking about revision to rny. I guess I'm glad my doctor chose that for me. I was leaning to sleeve but said it was his decision and he said RNY.

Thank you! Way back in 2010 I had asked for the bypass and was told the lap band was so much better and easier. They told me once I hit the sweet spot I'd be in a whole new world of losing weight. After that it was pure chaos

I am so happy and excited for you. Best wishes for a safe surgery and speedy recovery!

P.S. I am so happy that I went with RNY! I would not change it for anything. You will do well given how prepared you are.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
