Revision Sugery?

[Emilie1 3]

How long did you stay in the hospital after your revision? For my first one I stayed over night, but I was the last one operated on and I had been sick...they said this time I could leave in just a few hours.

I'm in the hospital overnight as we speak after my revision. I had to stay overnight for my 1st surgery as well. Good luck with your revision.

I also styed overnight for my first two...I just hope the office manager who told me a few hours is correct...I guess...not sure if I want to rush home...I remember all the gas...yuck. Good luck to you....were you slipped?

Yes my band slipped. I am hoping this new & improved band works out for me. I don't want to ever go through this again. So this is your 3rd surgery for lap band? What problems have you had?

Had my revision yesterday...all he had to do was fix the tubbing the band was fine. As far as other problems....when my band slipped it was due to bad food choices, getting stuck and throwing up.....If I ever get acid reflux again I will be at my dr. Office in a heat beat....

What did they have to do for your revision?

Well after speaking to my surgeon I found out that my band was not replaced he just "fixed" the slip by repositioning the band in the right place. He said my band was fine. He also repaired a hiatal hernia which was likely the cause of the acid reflux, heartburn, and possibly the slip.

I am having surgery on May 30th to fix a hiatial hernia and have my band repositioned... just curious how you are doing? What kind of post-op diet did your surgeon require? I know it is early... but was your reflux "cured" or has it gotten betteR?

Had lap band repair surgery last Monday. Recovery and post op stuff same as the first time. Also hope that this never happens again. Doctor said that my band actually slipped upward which is more uncommon. Felt like I was choking almost after every meal but with no food restriction. Very uncomfortable. Hope to be back on track with weight loss very soon. Good luck to everyone on your journey.
