My dad had it done last year and is doing great he had an extra hole where they rook out the band. He's down over 100 lbs.

It doesn't hurt. It's sore, but no real pain. I took some liquid Tylenol at home. It was an easy surgery for me. I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow.

I had my lap band and RNY done at the same time, as well as my gallbladder removed and hernia repair on April 12th . I may be a big wimp but it hurts! Yes the port area is a little more tender then the rest. But the pain does get so much better everyday. I'm 13lbs down in 2 weeks.

Congrats on your weight loss. I hope I don't gain with the band being out. In your defense, you had 2 procedures done compared to my 1. And pain tolerance is different for everyone. I'm up and working today. I may even try to make my last class tonight. Liquid Tylenol is working. It makes me wonder what my pain will be like after RNY.

It's really the same pain as when you got your lap band, I felt.

Ok. Thanks for me letting me know. I hope the next 3 months fly by. Looking forward to being healthier later this year.

I had the same..removal and bypass in one procedure. With hernia repair.

The pain from bypass is no comparison to the band!!!!

Im 11 days post op and having a few pain issues and had an episode of dumping. ..omg!!

I was lucky for the single procedure. It doesnt work for everyone. Lost 15 lbs in 11 days.
