First time posting here- Had my revision from lap band to RNY yesterday. It’s not as bad as I had built up in my head. Took a while for anesthesia to wear off. I had ice chips first, then water, and a sugar free popsicle last night. Everything is going down ok. The gas pain is the worst part but it’s tolerable. Walking helps. Hoping to go home today. The hospital bed is uncomfortable and people come in and out of my room constantly, so I’m looking forward to a good night sleep. The actual incision sites are not very painful. Feels like I did a bunch of sit ups. Peeing feels a little weird. Who knew we used so many abdominal muscles to pee. I also have cotton mouth, which I’m hoping gets better. Here’s to a new me for the new year.

Congrats. I had mine 12/20 and so far so good. The worst part was the gas pains near the top . Trying to learn to sip slowly as yesterday I think I drank too fast and the gas pain in that area came back again. Came home Friday- thank god- isn’t it the worst when they wake you up every hour?!

I keep getting gas pain when I sip anything other than water too.

I had my revision done Oct 9th it was one of the best decisions I have ever made!! I had really bad left side pain after I got out of the hospital it would only hit at night and walking did not help be aware that its possible for this kind of pain and have your pain meds on hand. This is a great accomplishment and cant wait to see you on the losers bench

Hiya TX_KB

I had my revision 14 December. I also had left side pain, but the whole 3xperience hasn’t been too bad. No nausea from this op (unlike putting the band in) which is the best.

Happy 2018 for us - I look forward to us being on the losers bench together!
