FREAKING OUT!!!!
My surgery is in 11 days for my revision from the band to the bypass! I can't believe it is getting so close, I feel like I had just found out that I was approved. I have been waiting for this for over a year. I'm starting to get scared, but more excited about the whole thing. I think the biggest thing that I don;t want to do is stay at the hospital for 2 days. LOL
Please let me know of anything that will help me through the stay and the operation.
And please keep me in your thoughts!!!
Thanks,
Arin----Revision from Band to BYPASS!!!! 
I'm a band to by-pass revision too... girl you're gonna LOVE it I promise you!!!!
Admittedly the physical recovery from the band was a bit easier but it's really not awful! If you're biggest thing right now is not wanting to stay in the hospital this is gonna be a walk in the park sister!!
In my opinion, the best thing to get thru your two day stay is just get up and walking around as soon as you feel ready, even shower when you can... this will help you become more independent and ready to go home sweet home!
You will see that life after RNY is very different from having a band... it's flipping fantastic!! If I knew then what I know now, I never ever would have wasted my time w/a band but... I did all my research and was 110% in love with the thought of being banded!!
Your daywill be here before ya know it... I'm excited for ya!!!

I've been declared a slow loser - and couldn't be happier!!
I can, I will.
I can, I will. 
sooooooo happy for you.... I'm jumping through my hoops now so I can get this band out of me and revise to RNY. I can't wait. Take the two days in the hospital as a vacation.... take your meds and walk... walk.... walk... it will go by fast and your going to be great!
Realize Band 11/2009 ... revision to RNY 12/27/11.
