Newbie, I'm kind of in your position, I was banded in Oct 08, lost about 40 pounds and hit a brick wall, a year into the band I started having really bad reflux at night, after a couple of upper GIs and EGD scope, my doctor decided we needed to take it out. Getting band removed on Wednesday and can't wait. Don't have in Fluid in it now, the day he removed all the fluid my acid reflux went away the same day, but unfortunately the damage has already been done to my esophageus. Doctor wants to wait a few months and see how everything heals before we try something different. My vote is for the sleeve so that is what I'm going to push. This site has been so helpful. Cant wait until Wednesday to get this out of me. Will give my update later in the week.
