I had my Lap-band converted to a RNY on the 23rd July this year. Living with the band was an absolute nightmare towards the end. The surgeon who performed the RNY said the band was too tight and possibly too high. I cannot blame the band completely I need to shoulder a lot of the blame for the failure as a whole.
One interesting note is my surgeon says this conversion is quite common...
It is nearly 3 weeks since I have had the surgery and all seems be going well. I think having the band initially has helped me with the mental preporatin.
Good Luck
