Thumbs up My Second Chance is Here!!
Hi everybody!

I have been reading the post and keeping up to speed on all the good reports from those of you that have already had your surgery.

Since my Dr could not complete my RNY in July I have been waiting for my second chance at WLS, and that time is here. My surgery date for lap band is scheduled for September 15. I am so excited that I am almost looking forward to the 2 week liquid diet.

Why couldn't they complete it? I've never heard of that.

I had to much scar tissue from different surgeries over the years. They remove some of it but there was too much. The Dr. felt that it would be too much of a health risk to continue.
