I'm so excited! I can't believe time has gone so fast since I got my surgery day in January!
So I am having my band taken out and revised to a RNY. Over the last 2.5 months I have also quit smoking (smoked for 6 years) so that was a little taxing but I made it!
My dr let me know that I will be in the hospital for 2 days so if there is anything you suggest to bring to the hospital I am all ears!
For anyone who is ok social media I do have a fitness Instagram that was made when I was working out and training and trying the lose weight naturally (because my band wasn't restricted) but have since changed it so my IG name is rny_in_ny. I also have a blog RnyinNY.wordpress.com
Just in case anyone wants to follow, I am going to blog as much as I can because when I got my band I never did.
Anyone have band to bypass and are a couple months out?

How is it going? I'm just starting my journey to get on the path to revision...my GERD is out of control and ruining my life. Meds don't help, my band is unusable; either too tight or too loose and I've gained weight. Meeting a team this week to learn about options, but I'm pretty sure RNY will be the result.

How are you feeling?

I'm 12 days out, I slept most of the time in the hospital and walked when I was awake. It's such a cool feeling not to have that port and the feeling of restriction when you have a few bites of food, instead of being stuck, your full!
