Revision/Hybred/Leave alone????

As most of you know, I have had a terrible 15 months with my band. Went to get a 2nd opinion and that Dr recommends removing the band and doing RNY.

I would like to know if you revise can you keep the band?

Or, if you just want to quit all this mess, can you leave the band in with no fill or will there be complications?

This is a decision best made with medical advice. Leaving the band in but empty should be OK, as long as you are sure that it's in the right position and you will be able to keep it that way by not overeating and putting pressure on it. The device itself will not cause any problems, but if it hasn't worked well for you so far it seems to me that taking it out might be a better way to go.

Revising to RNY is certainly not the only option. Talk with your doctor honestly about your goals and concerns and I hope you'll find the answer you seek!
