pamelaf got a reaction from breavsg in What is your experience with lapband surgery?elcee, Your experience with the band is very similar to mine. You said it way better than I ever could! Great advice for anyone still looking at the band!

pamelaf got a reaction from AZhiker in What is your experience with lapband surgery?I had the band placed in 2008. Had to have a slip fixed in 2010. Band removed in 2019, bypass done in 2020.
Other than the slip in 2010 i didn't really have any problems with my band. I lost about 60-65 in the first 6 months, then maintained that loss +/- 5 lbs until 2019.
Wasn't really having any issues, but decided I should do a check in with my band doctor, in April 2019 I had an upper gi done, they found that the band was causing problems with my esophagus and recommended removal.
Removal and bypass done as 2 separate surgeries. I am 6 weeks post op from bypass and feeling great.
I would not do the band again and go straight to bypass, bands fail after about 10 years, or sooner for some. Save time and $$$ do the bypass!!

pamelaf got a reaction from Slimming Down Steve in Does anybody know how long rny patients have to take Opmeprizole?That was me also. Too tired and sore to think about questions. But emailed my provider today and got the answer. So a little late starting (surgery was 1/8) but started today!!

pamelaf got a reaction from Slimming Down Steve in Does anybody know how long rny patients have to take Opmeprizole?I asked my Dr this today. I used to take Omeprazole regularly, but as soon as my band was deflated then removed I did not need it. So Now just had a bypass done and was told to take it for 8 weeks to keep ulcers away!
