I had my Lapband revision to gastric bypass, with a hiatal hernia repair, all in one surgery on July 5 this year. I am 2 months out and feel SO much better. Life was miserable with the Lapband. I also had GERD and have not had one day of it with my surgery. I originally wanted to convert to the sleeve but my surgeon said it would make the GERD worse.

Don't be afraid.

I'm converting on 9/11. Eroded esophagus, heartburn and a fear of regaining all my weight.

Hi Ladies,

I'm in Oakland and having lap band to bypass revision on 9/11. Looking for buddies for support on this journey.

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a band to bypass revision on 9/11. Anyone in a similar situation? I'm a mom, I work and I'm excited about this next chapter.

I'd like a buddy/mentor!

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here. On 9/11 my lap-band is coming out and I'm having bypass. This is due to esophageal erosion, heartburn and a hiatal hernia that just won't quit. I've never made it to slender, but I've been happy with my size. I'm looking for folks on a similar journey for support. Thanks!

I'm not a big Breakfast person... It's typically a cup of coffee (which I'll be trying to give up post surgery, much to my chagrin). I usually eat a yogurt or some nuts a couple of hours after I get to work. My band has always been tight in the morning, then looser as the day goes on.

That's the procedure I'm having done on 9/11... lap band removal to gastric bypass. Mine hasn't failed, per se, but it did erode my esophagus and my GERD is awful!
