BAND removed now sleeve or bypass?



Recommended Posts

I had my band placed 2011 and it was removed Jan 2015 I have now gained all my weight that I lost and went to speak to a surg about sleeve but he mentioned I would not lose that much cause all the scaring but mentioned I will lose a lot more with by pass..

Has anyone gone through this and if so any suggestions for me

Thanks!!!!

Here is my opinion; I have had all three, lapband to sleeve to gastric bypass. I can tell you that the GB is much different/better than the sleeve. I wish I had known before I had the sleeve and just gone with GB. Better restriction, better lack of appetite, no sugar/carb cravings I am 13 weeks out and actually right now just the thought of eating something fatty/sugary, makes me feel nauseous. Last night at work they ordered Vietnamese/Chinese food and the smell was gross to me. I hope that I can have these feelings forever!

I am sure that sleevers will tell you that their surgery is the best and so probably with the GB'ers. Don't worry about taking vitiamins I have not found this to be a problem at all. I have just gotten into a routine with it.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
