Please mark whether you are banded, ex-banded, or researching. This poll is anonymous.

Voting here will help us get an idea of percentages of complications withing the LBT community, since it's so difficult to find up-to-date info.

Glad to see this post. Please tell me though how you came to being diagnosed with errosion? I have read posts regarding having erroison, but nobody can tell me what caused it, how did you know it ectera. Please enlighten me as this is one fear for me.

This is a fabulous poll!!!! I think we see the issues some bandsters have (seriouss) and lose track of how many of us there are here. It is still a percentage.

Way to poll Donali!!!! Great One. Loving being banded but still scared with all these things lurking up recently. We all need to be aware of our bodies always:0)

Based on the current numbers - we have a 5% unbanded rate. Hopefully, some more Banded folks will stop by and vote.

I clicked on the pole. Banded 10/25/05 and loving it. I've lost 20 pounds and going for the next 5. No problems so far and hopefully won't have any.

You should be aware that by including those individuals that have not been banded, the numbers become less meaningfull. There are a lot of people who are not banded and although it is important for them to participate in this site, their numbers should not impact the poll.

Only those individuals who have been banded should be counted, that way the poll would then be measuring, of those people who get bended the percentage that require removal.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
