I was banded in March 2011. My band slipped in October 2011 and corrected itself after 3 month of an unfil. I still managed to lose 40 lbs the first year. My next siip was June 2013. It did not correct itself. My doctor recomened taking the band out and getting a sleeve.

I went in on 9/11/13 for a revision and found out that there was a lot of scar tissue and the band had eroded a hole in my stomach. I ended up after a 5 hour surgery with no sleeve. The doctor said there was to much damage from the band. He does not recomend any further WLS. He feels the benifits do not outweigh the risks. ....I'm considering getting a second opinion.
