Anyone have their band out and have time in between the revision?

I had my band out on Thursday and they haven't set an exact date for my bypass yet, but it will be sometime within the next 2 months. I made a tuna melt for lunch today. My first bite in and it got stuck!!! I mean, sliming, gagging, painful, stuck! It eventually went through, but I can't believe that the scar tissue from only having a band for 2 years could cause that much of an imprint on my belly that food is still getting stuck.

Anyone else have this happen??

Hi, I am inbetween as well. Not sure when or if my revision surgery is, will know next Monday.

I have a lot of scarring but am having no problems with food. In fact it feels so fantastic not to have that rotten thing in anymore. No choking or reflux.

Have you spoken to your doctor yet about what damage they found when they removed your band?

I hope it gets better for you real soon xox

I had my band removed and bypass the same day. My band was in for 7 Years. Surgeon said everything went fine. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. Why do other surgeons wait????

My doc said way too much scarring and inflammation from my slip and the portion of the stomach where he makes the pouch was extremely irritated, to safely make a healthy pouch he would have had to make a much larger pouch. No, no, I don't need a larger pouch!!!

How was it a doozy? I am getting my revision in a month and getting more and more nervous. I started liquids today.

I was in extreme pain from the revision, BUT that doesn't mean it will happen to u. The pain meds weren't helping it was horrible, Again that was just my experience I have had a lot of surgeries that was worse than getting my gallbladder out, BUT I survived the pain is gone and praise God! I'm losing weight.

Bless your heart!! Im glad u r doing better now.
