I just had a revision to my lap band. the first surgery was done November of 2010 and to date I lost 80 pounds. Everything was going great...then I started suffering from acid reflux, an x-ray showed my band had slipped slightly. The doctor wanted a plan B in case the band could not be replaced. I refused the sleeve or gastric bypass. I had surgery this past Thursday. All went well...he said it was challenging due to alot of scar tissue. I am nervous...I almost feel as though I should of had it removed altogether. Has anyone out there had a revision and all is going well? Please respond!
