I had my lapband removed Sept. 2011, and had the gastric bypass done. I wish I had done the gastric bypass first.

Wow now can you tell me why you had your band remove more info plz.

Yes, we'd be interested to know why you had your band removed.

I am glad you are happy with your revision!

I had my lap band removed because it did not work for me. I stayed hungry and throw up all the time. We I would lose a little weight, it would come right back. I could not eat in the morning, however by the afternoon I could eat a regular size meal.

Thanks for the follow-up info. I am very sorry the band did not work for you. I wish you great success with your bypass!!

I'm sorry to hear that the band didn't work for you. Everybody is different and I hope that the bypass works out for you instead =) best of luck.

My niece had decided that the band wouldn't be right for her either! SHe had teh gastirc bypass done in summer of 2008/ SH lost about 100 lbs. So good luck to you. Karen
