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 ;)

Hi all, I had a revision from

Band to Bypass at the beginning of November. Happy to answer any questions! :)

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
