Hello. I'm Dianna. I received a Lapband 5 years ago. Things were great the first 2 years. Long story short my surgeons office would always cancel my appointments and when I did get to see him he told me all the issues I had were my fault. I spent 3 years vomiting and having a hard time eating and drinking. He would shame me for asking for unfill when Water wouldn't even stay down. It was horrible.

Anyways, I recently moved to a different area and got another surgeons option on how my band. I told her what was going on. We came to the conclusion my band needed to come out. My band didn't slip, but I wasn't tolerating it and have pretty bad acid reflux.

I am now scheduled for revision surgery to RNY on August 17th and couldn't be happier.

I hope it goes well for you and the problems you had all go away.

Welcome and good luck on your revision! Glad you found a better doctor to help you out!
