Hi all. On 4/19 had band removed and bypass. Took about five days for gas pain to go away, after that not much pain thankfully. Hope you are all doing well:)

What preparation did you have to do this time?

Hi. I was actually going in for check ups for my band when we found out it slipped: ( my Dr made me only do but and psych again for revision. I actually did go to but each month prior to surgery and I had to attend pre op seminar for bypass. Each Dr is different though. My insurance would only pay for band removal and not if I did revision on same day. Long story short, it was only 3000 less to do one surgery than two so I'm self pay unfortunately: (

Oh wow that's cool. I thought they couldn't do the surgery the same day you had the other one removed l had lap band in 2005 I had complications and they had to remove it just in July of last year the doctor told me that they could not do the bypass the same time after the surgery I guess it was an insurance factor

It could be insurance thing but my doctor also did if my stomach looked "angry" he wouldn't do revision. Just had two week post op visit I'm down 16

Better than going up!

I am ok, feel great. I'm down 50. Slowly losing so I just glad I'm losing and no more vomiting and reflux. Wish it was little faster but Dr said I'm on track for a revision.
