Well, the surgeon said it has to come out. :-( The infection can't heal with it in there. He said that if I have stomach tissues strong enough while I'm in there he will do a bypass while I'm open. We'll see what he finds out. He said it will be an on the fly decision. I signed the consent for band removal with possible RNY revision. I am not sure how I feel about that so I have just been saying lots of prayers. I figured everything is out of my hands. I am praying that God lead my doctors to do what is the best for me and my health. Surgery will be either tomorrow or Thursday.

I'm praying for your successful recovery from this surgery..... !! Good LUCK!! and God Bless.

Sending uplifting thoughts and prayers for you. I'm so sorry about your band and hope they will be able to do the RNY. If not you are looking absolutely beautiful and I've heard that sometimes later on you can get the band again. Hope this is an option.
