I had my band for 3.5 years. They did an endoscopy on me where they found I had severe esophegitus. So the surgeon warned me there was a chance that he might have to do it in two ops. However, when he went in he felt comfortable enough to do both parts in one op. But took over six hours due to the scar tissue.

Did you have many issues with the band such as sickness on a regular basis? That would dictate how much scarring and inflammation you have.

I throw up more days than I don't. However, my EGD was good. We aren't really sure why I have so much trouble. My band was great until I gotpregnant. I had hyperemesis and had to have a complete unfil. Since then, I've not been able to tolerate much fill at all and I throw up regularly.

I developed my bad issues post pregnancy as well. Mine was in for 11 years. I did not have adhesions or scar tissue that prevented the bypass in the same procedure. My doc said he really wouldn't be able to tell until he was in there

Just had my revision from sleeve to bypass done on Tuesday. It would be a lot better if I wasn't allergic to narcotic pain medicine!

@pipergurl. I agree it was a lot less painful to have my lap-band. I'm having my own issues but I don't deal with them at work, my heart goes out to you. Hope you feel better soon.

Ugh...I'm hoping for a revision also. Had my band for 6 years. Having pain just to the left of my

Sternum. Complete unfill due to pain, reflux, vomitting. 2 months later (just last week) had endoscopy. Surgeon said I had a small hernia and took biopsies. Will see what is found. He wants to try to work with the band some more unless findings from biopsies show something different. I have regained ALL of my preop weight. Just want this to be resolved.

please make sure you stress the importance of your safety and comfort. in the end it is your body not the surgeons. you push for what you want and need good luck keep us posted!
Well, they only found a small hernia with my endoscopy. No other problems. So they want to work with my band. I am completely unfilled and gaining weight. I said I was willing to do what they felt was best for me. However, I wanted them to know ALL of my concerns for keeping the band. AND, I have to wait over a month before I can even get in to see the doctor to discuss anything or try to begin working with the band again.

I feel like I'm getting nowhere FAST!

Oh wow. A small hernia is still a. Hernia !!!! I'd say definitely time to start looking for a new office if it's an option !!! I don't understand the band and fills etc but hoping things get better for you !!

My surgery date is Nov. 21, 2016 in San Angelo, Texas. I am having a gastric bypass revision. I'm excited and a little scared but ready also for a new life. I would love to hear from you or anyone who has gone through this or going to.

I am having the revision on Jan 23rd from Sleeve to Bypas due to reflux. How are you doing?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
