Is it anyone at there have the band remove The same day is the other surgery????

yes I did. he even used some of the old scars from band surgery for the new surgery.

Thank you so much I would like to keep in touch with you my surgery will be in December.how long did it take you to recover because it was almost like a double surgery

same amount of time. I had a drain in for 1 week and that was a bother but my pain level wasn't higher. I just remembered all the do's and don'ts of surgery and that helped. I had a uncomplicated recovery. I love not having the band anymore. the little pouch of gastric bypass works for me like crazy. i always had to work very hard with the band to get the full signal. you will love your bypass.

I am having band removed and bypass done on the same day on 12/7 - I'll let you know how I do!

Thank you guys please keep in touch with me because this is it for me I am almost 60 years ago????

I would like to introduce myself to you all I live in Kentucky I live in Kentucky get married to a minister we have. Two children . 25 and 21

I'm getting my band removed the same day as my surgery. My surgery date is 11/20/2015.

How did it go? I am having the same thing on March 8th.

I had mine removed the same day as my bypass surgery
