Hi. I am new to the site and was wondering if anyone has had the Lap Band over Bypass revision surgery. If so, how as it been? I am scheduled to have this procedure done in 2 weeks.

Do not get banded there are hidden costs every time you fill, and there can be terrible complications

I have friends who have had the band over bypass and have done very well. I had my band placed in January 2013. It was he best thing I have ever done. the fills and checkups are actually a way to keep you in check. I have not had to get a fill for over a year but I go about every 6 months or so to see if everything is okay. I have not had any complications and am healthier than I have been in years. All WLS has it's risks but as you know after having bypass there is always a certain amount of patient compliance. Best of luck to you.

Thank you Sharpie for your response. I am going in on Wednesday. I am a bit nervous but this is my last resort to fix my stoma. I already had it surgically repaired in 2013 and it did not work so this will my 2nd revision. It is nice to hear you and your friends have done well with the band.
