    Did you consult your doc? Any advise from them? And I guess you must have had a enough lost during your band period !!!! I guess MGB is slow but effective. And I truly believe now that my body is on stall. Means need to change a diet and my routine. Good luck to you.

    Yes went yesterday. He said not to worry that loss if much slower after a revision, to just give it time. And that I also have my height, weight and age and slow metabolism to take in consideration. He said to be patient and just keep doing what I'm doing.

    Hello
    Yes I had 4 balloon dilation. They do it while having a endoscopy and they put you out under sedation. I had it done due to having narrowing and I was vomiting a lot. It helped temporarily. Most of the time it takes more than once to be effective. There is no pain. Why r you having it done?



    How did they sedate you? Through Iv?

    I had he sleeve done 12/14. Since 18 mo the post op I have terrible heartburn and it gets so bad sometimes I vomit and it does t go away for over an hour. Even with prescription meds given for this reason.
    I never had this before the sleeve. Would that be a reason to have the MGB? I'm so lost. My dr just keeps putting me o. Things . Carafate, 20mg Prilosec, liquid Zantac all hat wonderful stuff





    I have read of people who have done the mini gastric bypass because of reflux with their sleeve.

    There are 2 groups of fb for people with mini gastric bypass and they could answer your question better there. Join the groups.

    I had a band and I just did revision no MGB.

    I'm in SoCal and actually discussed a band/plication revision to a bypass with my surgeon today. My doctor is Helmuth Billy in Ventura. He is great! I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but after close to 4 years, I'm having horrible reflux issues and I've gained back close to 30 of the 70 pounds I lost.

    I don't know what he charges for self pay, but I can tell you that he's a great surgeon. Here is the link to his website http://www.drbillybariatrics.com

    Good luck!

    Will you be self pay? Or insurance is going to cover you?

    only 3 1/2 years. I lost almost 50 pounds and have kept it off, but the misery of struggling with food is ridiculous. there are times I can't even drink Water and my reflux, which I never had prior to the band was atrocious.

    Ooh my, I'm so sorry you are going through this :(

    I've had mine for almost 10 yrs. Never had any complications, till some regurgitation a few months ago. I only got it if I ate anything after 7pm. Got all the liquid out and slowly adding it but in that process I've gained 15lbs. I can't even loose what I gained and have no issues now but want to do a revision :/

    I have the band and do not want it. I am trying to get the sleeve. I think it will be a matter of time before the band will be removed from market due to the amount of issues. My band truly failed me. I have no slippage or dilated pouch. I have had nothing but issues with my band since the get go. Never found the sweet spot and more time than not, cannot keep regular food down. I am done with this thing!

    How long have you had it?
