I was originally banded in 2004, and had a very successful surgery.  Unfortunately, complications caused me to have to get the band removed.  It has been removed for about 2 years now and I have gained ALL of the weight back (80 pounds) plus an additional 20 pounds.  I now have insurance that will pay for the procedure.  After speaking with a doctor that performs revisional surgery, I was informed that he would perform the surgery, but there is a chance that a band can't be placed and he will perform a gastric bypass.  Worst case scenario, he will have to do an "open" surgery versus laposcropic.  I am looking forward to the surgery and very excited.  I can't wait to get BACK on the road to weight loss and good health!
