I decided to have lap band surgery four years ago in July 2012 after several failed attempts to lose weight on my own. I did great for the first year. I lost about 50lbs and I felt great. Then I started having problems with the band. Severe indigestion, chest pain that landed me in the ER a few times, and of course, weight regain. I went back to my surgeon convinced I had damaged the lap band with a major slip or erosion. I had several tests run and everything came back fine. I finally decided to revise to the sleeve in August 2016 (four yrs and one month later) I think it was the best decision I ever made. I only wish I had done it sooner!! My surgeon Dr, Deperi did both surgeries and did a great job both times!! I highly recommend him!!
