I was just wondering if there is anyone on here that had a revision from VSG to RNY? Their experiences? How much they lost with both surgeries? How long did you wait?

I'm meeting my surgeon Dr. Penner tomorrow morning. For the past week I have been calm, up until today, I feel anxious, nervous but mostly very excited. I can't stop smiling! Finally this day has come.
