That is terrible I am glad that you will soon have your bypass! By the way what part of AZ are you from? I lived in Gilbert the last 6 years but am temporarily in New York
Sorry to hear about your problem as well...I had my band removed Oct 2016, and if you take time to read my profile, I had the same issue as both of you...when my doctor finally took it out, my band had pulled my esophagus down causing me to pass out, be nauseous, not able to eat, and damaged my vagus nerve as well...after talking to my doctor, who is also now my surgeon, we both agreed that the bypass would be the best alternative for me...with the sleeve, you can gain all the weight back, but with the bypass, it keeps you in check...besides i have acid reflux and the bypass eliminates that problem completely....best of luck to you and keep looking forward!
Hey there! Sorry to hear about what you have went through, I just had my band removed + revision to the bypass 6 days ago and I am down 20 lbs. my band was NOTHING but trouble since day 1 and it spiraled me into depression for the three years I had to deal with it. Already my RNY has been good to me and I haven't even been able to go to the gym yet! I personally highly recommend the RNY because all of these wls are equally risky in their own way! If you have any questions please ask although like I said I'm only 6 days out ! Good luck [emoji173]️
Hi my name is Leeanne
My story is not to put any one off just more of advice and awareness on after life problems can accrue after first 5years its apparently more common in woman than men.
I had the by pass back in 2009 lived a normal healthy life after the operation. But in 2015 that's when I just became ill Malabsorption correct name for what was going on with me. I don't regret the operation because I lost 13 stones and regained my life back and have kept every pond off. I just wish I was educated more on nutrition health and well being I new what was good foods were . I did eat right was active. My body in the end rejected the nutrients from foods it was my intestine that wouldn't absolve goodness caused me a lot of damage 2years on and I only just found something which works for my body and pumps it with pure natural nutrition and it is not prescribed drugs this something world wide and next best thing to fruit and veggies these supplements better than any Vitamin.

Making awareness Is my aim but now I make nutrition a passion and my mission with the products I now take I 110 per cent have all my faith in the supplements' take.. So much support is offered.
This one of my before and after pictures I was fed by a tube for over a year was scary at the time but I feel me again now on the right.
Please ALWAYS consult with your medical team prior to trying anything. I was very lucky to have one of the top Bariatric Surgeons as my surgeon.
Best of luck with your journey! Hope this helps!
