  1. Hi I'm band to bypass revision. I have to go through another six month of appointments before I can have it done. Did anyone else have to go through this? I should be done with all the preop appts by the end of August . I was hoping I didn't have to go through the appointments but the surgeon said it mandatory for insurance purposes even with blue cross. I had my band put in on jan 2006, then was revised in March of 2013 for a slipped band. I initially lost about 70 pounds. Then slowly I regained all of the weight back. Can't wait to get this surgery lots of joint pains and pre diabetic. I have only one question. How long after surgery can I go back to an office job?
  2. I'm going to take out the band and I have to do the whole 6 month thing again I wish I didn't have to

  10. Hi I dont think your band would slip so early from surgery. I just had my band slipped, removed and replaced. This happened after 6 years. Sometimes you have no symptoms.I has slight pain on my right side only and sometimes a feeling of tightness swallowing. This is all over now. I was rebanded on 07/10/12. Gas and pain over. Hope your feeling better. Keep walking it heals alot faster.
