Thank you all sorry about delay in answering I had no internet due to a problem with the line. Seeing the co sultans next week - still unsure what to do x

Great thank you I will have a look xx

Thank you hoping I will be the same & not have reflux again as it was awful x

Thanks Kathy Defiantly no reflux before the band & none since having it removed so unsure [emoji52] Defiantly don't want bypass xx

Can I ask what is sips DS please? X

Has anyone who had reflux with the band not had it with the sleeve? I never had reflux till I had a band the reason I had it was the band was too tight. I was advised to have the bypass because of this. Band was removed 2 months back but no revision to bypass due to the mess the band had made of my stomach (it had attached itself to my liver) I now need to wait to December to have the next stage. But unsure I want the bypass now swaying towards sleeve but don't want reflux again x

Had mine done 2011 had it removed 2 months ago but could only have it removed not sleeved due to the mess the band had done to my stomach - band had eaten its way into my liver [emoji51] Originally requested to have it removed & to have bypass at the same time but I am swaying to the sleeve now but still unsure as I had bad reflux with the band & here you have the same issue with the sleeve? Xx

Thank you glad to know they can be done the same time no matter what surgery x

I had a band fitted 6 years ago, lost 6 stone but then developed awful reflux. Looked into having the sleeve but was told by my doctor that would still mean reflux & that he would prefer the bypass. At the time he suggested having the band removed as it deflated now anyway (all 6 stone regained) before bypass but I'm a chick n when it comes to surgery so have asked him to remove it at the same time as the bypass - he did say he would but it is makes the surgery a bit more longer & the recover time a bit longer too?? Has anyone had both done at the same time please & what is your experience? Xx

Dry shampoo is a good one in case you end up being in there for a few days x

I take it RNY is bypass? I've got about 4.5 - 5 stone to loose so hoping sleeve will be the best option x Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I keep thinking it would be the best option & less stressful in my body x Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you never knew it was a disease just thought I was doing something wrong every time I was bringing up the food x Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This is great for me to read as I'm in 2 minds too & I use to always bring up food with the band especially at night time so much so me teeth started to suffer. Could I ask what GERD is please? This is now making me wonder if bypass is the way forward x Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
