Revision date Aug 20!! Lapband didn't fail, but after 2 years starting developing aspiration pneumonias. It look 6 more years and a pulmonoscopy to determine it was all terrible reflux! So at age 64 I am having a revision! Anything to not be sick and to stop the reflux & heartburn! Can't wait!!!

I'm the 1st of August and am revising from a sleeve to the bypass for similar reasons. I woke up with a stricture right after surgery is 2012 and the reflux is so bad that it's eroding my esophagus where the stricture still is. I haven't eaten solid food since 2012 and can't wait for the pain to stop. My surgeon is/was worried that I'd develop esophageal cancer without revising and I'm 21. Good luck to you, I hope this fixes our awful reflux.

Congrats! I had the same....lap band and getting gb on 8/06/ 2014...I also had issues with lap band!!!! It would be great to compare notes through this phase of our lives.....

Same here revision august 4tg!
