@@Who'sThere

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

Had revision form sleeve to bypass Nov,22,2016.So far so good.

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!

Thank you! It was a lot less painful to have my sleeve surgery.

@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?

@@FDclerical How are you doing? Hope you are progressing and healing well

Would love to know how all of you that have had the band to bypass op are progressing.

Is it what you expected. Are you happy with the decision. Are you losing. Is it easier or more difficult than the band etc

Currently considering the same so all replies are greatly appreciated.
