YAY congratulations ! I too am a band revision to a DS ! I can tell you this it takes a while for you to wrap your head around the idea that you can eat more then when you had the band! That you WONT get food stuck anymore and that you wont spit up undigested food! Of course you have to wait till you heal to be able to eat food again but it is well worth it ! I am 3 mos out and am just now eating to the full stage... many small amounts during the day has gone am eating more regular timed meals! Please keep us posted and CONGRATS again ! Kim
