I read your intro and knew that I had to jump in here! I've been meaning to introduce myself after lurking on this site for awhile for information and have found most everyone to be very helpful and supportive. I am having a similar procedure with my surgery date a few days before you, May 18th. My band was placed in 2009 and I started having gastric reflux at night in 2020. I finally went back to the bariatric office that placed my band Sept 2021 and the port had flipped so they couldn't do any additional adjustments and the band needs to be removed. It was not a good tool for me for weight loss. After further contemplation and getting the reflux under control, I have decided on the gastric bypass as well and am also having my diseased gallbladder removed at the same time. We can be kindred spirit surgery buddies, I hope!
