Greetings! Short version I had a Lapland put in, in 2007 removed after esophogus erosion in 2015. Couldn't do a conversion then due to condition of stomach and esophogus.

Went to doc for a hernia in February and doctor asked if I'd considered a revision now, heck yes. Started the process and now I'm having gastric bypass on Friday July 21. I've been on the liquids and doing pretty good since 7/7.but today i had zero energy and have been hungry. it's like I'm coming down with a cold but no sniffling etc .i think it might also be nerves . I dropped 10lbs the first week on Liquids but nothing the last 4 days . I've even been walking 2.5 miles each day !

I just hate surgery in general. I have an incisional hernia and a hiatal hernia being fixed at the same time.

Please wish me luck!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I think most of us were nervous a few days before surgery. It will be over before you know it and then the fun begins!

I wish you much success on your journey.

The liquid diet is rough and it does make you feel drained towards the end. Just hang in there. You'll have tough days but once you get through the next few weeks you'll be feeling so much better. All of your hard work will pay off! Good luck Friday!!!

I hate surgery too and have had way too many (4 knee surgeries,3 surgeries on my ankles/feet,a Stent placement,a tubal ligation and my RNY. My RNY was my best decision ever though. I went in weighing 273 and my initial goal after a lifetime of obesity seemed undo able at 165. I flew past that goal and have weighed 117 to 122 for over 4 years now. I went from a size 28 to a size 0 or 1 and better yet,the diabetes,high cholesterol and triglycerides and uncontrolled high blood pressure are all gone too. I'm walking 5 plus miles a day for fun when a trip down the basement stairs left me out of breath before. I love my new healthy life and you will too. Before and after to follow
