The wait is over...Revision from Lap to RNY complete!
Apr 29, 2009
Hi Everyone,I had my revision surgery on 4/21 from the Lap Band to RNY. It went really well, the only issue is that I seem to have developed a seroma at one of my incision sites that continues to want to drain. What a pain!
I'm still feeling a bit tired here and there. I am hopeful that RNY works much better than the Lap Band did. It slipped and caused me so many issues, that I am glad to be rid of it. I do want to emphasize though that many people are successful with the Lap Band and it really is a very personal decision. If I had known then (5yrs ago) what I know now, I would have never chosen it in the first place because it's very high maintenance and not as high of weight loss. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
So, now I begin the new journey of the RNY. If anyone out there has a similar story of revision, I'd love to know how you are doing.
Cheers,
Caetie
