Hi. I have had 6 years of nightmares with my band. Everything everyone has experienced but GERD the most annoying. Even wound up with aspiration pneumonia. I am looking to get approval for revision but have the 6 month diet requirement right now from insurance. Anyway, I'd love to hear others experiences with this particular revision and specifically, did you experience weight loss that you didn't with the band. Thanks for the help!

Heating pad helps for gas pain

I had my revision from band to bypass on May 13th, having a tough recovery as I had complications but I trust it does get better. Hang in there

I had my surgery one week ago today, was discharged Friday and back in the ER on Sunday, for 9 hours for dehydration. It has not been a good week. I'm regretting this. I hope better days are ahead.

Oh, I do hope you'll begin to feel better. My Dr put a real fear in me about dehydration. He asked me to keep a log showing I was sipping Water that first day - 1 oz every 15 minutes I was awake, 2 oz days 3 and 4. It was difficult, both to remember to record it and to get that much in, but it made the first few days better, I'm sure.

I hope you're on the mend now and feeling better. This is major surgery and we can't expect it to be flawless, even when we follow orders.

Feel better.
