Thanks for the reply. I'm really leaning more towards vsg because the thought of malabsorption scares me. What have you noticed is the biggest difference between the band and gastric bypass? Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

The 8 weeks in between is so your body can heal properly. My reflux has yet to follow me post band removal. I feel great minus the pain from the surgery..I'm so glad to hear that, I can't wait until they take mine out. Thanks for answering my question. I'm scheduled to have mine removed June 14, I'm counting down the days to end this. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

The same thing is going on with mine, I have no fill but yet I get acid reflux daily especially at night. My surgeon wants to remove it and let me rest for 8 weeks before doing any type of revision. At this point I don't know what to do because I'm afraid this whole acid reflux stuff will follow me. So how do you feel without the band? I'm hoping it is intant relief for me...I'm on protonix 40mg 2 times a day and that does absolutely nothing for me ???? Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Jennay when did they remove it? Did or will you be having any type of revision? Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Mine only has .5cc and i have acid reflux...I'm trying to figure out what's causing it...with a pretty much empty band

I have been home for almost 4 hours feel no gas pains (knock on wood) hope I didn't speak to soon. I checked in at 0545 i was out by 0945 the Dr. fixed a hiatal hernia I didn't knw I had. I'm feeling a very slight discomfort on my port area but overall not feeling too bad and haven'r taken any pain meds. I had a very sleepless night too, i was a nervous wreck!

meant 4 days its friday.

I have 3 more days until my surgery. Im scheduled to check in at 5:45am and its starting to set in. Im actually nervous n scared...all my hard work is about to pay off but Im freaking out a little that random thoughts go through my head. I just need some reassurance everything will be ok. Im glad I can come in her for support.
