  1. I need advice...I had the band done 7 years ago and have been miserable. Can not tolerate any liquid in it. Even completely empty some days I can eat some days I can't. No rythme or reason! I am looking into having it removed and doing the bypass. I am really scared. I finally (running across this site) do not feel like such a faliure/loser as there are alot of people that have had the same problems. I thought I was the only one. Most poeple had the band removed after 2 years I have given it 7. What is life like with the bypass? What is the recovery like? What are the common problems? I have sooo many questions!!!!
