My story is very similar to yours. Banded in 2006.. Lost 90lbs.. Felt sooo awesome... Then reflux set in.. Fluid removed .. Lots of meds... Gained 45# back. Having revision .. Rny on 12/23/13!! I am so excited but reading all these posts about slow weight loss after revision is making me very nervous. I hope it is a greater tool than the band was. Anyone have great revision stories ? I wish I would have NEVER done the band.. I'm sorry no one told me no band from the beginning . Merry Christmas to all.
