I just got my date today! On December 15, I will be revising from lapband to RNY. I had to fight with my surgeon's office to get it sent in, but they did (surgeon himself helped nudge the office) and it was approved in 8 days. I'm so ready to start this new journey!

Hi revision from lapband to rny Dec 7th! My surgeon wants me to drink the Optifast 1 week pre op and 3 weeks post op. Has anyone ever tried Optifast? And are there any comparables you like better?

Thanks!

I hated optifast. I do like Premier Protein. You may want to sample some of the stuff out there.

Hello,

I just had my lap band removed but I have to wait for 3 or 4 months to have my RNY surgery. I have a lot of adhesions and I have to wait until the swelling goes down.. Anyone else had to do this?

My lapband is due to be removed this Wednesday (30th Nov), if all goes well then I'll have the bypass done at the same time however that's dependent on adhesions etc too. If everything doesn't go perfectly then same thing as you Felicia, I'll have to wait 3 months for a bypass. I'll try to remember (through a foggy post-operative brain) to come back and let you know if we're going to be waiting together.

Yep, I had to do the same. My surgeon refuses to do the RnY on the same day as band removal because of all the scar tissue and adhesions that band patients have. It was tough to wait but my RNY surgery was totally smooth sailing so he must have known what he was doing

I'd love to keep up with your progress. I'm scheduled for 12/15.

How was your recovery compared to your band? Also, did you have a lot of pain where the port was removed? And where was your port? Mine is basically between my boobs and down about 2 inches. I don't see many with that placement.
