Good afternoon ladies. I see a few of you are having revision surgery from the lap band. Do you mind if I ask why you think it failed to work for you? I was looking into having band surgery and I’m curious. Thanks in advance.

Most doctors these days really won't do the band anymore. It does not have a high success rate and comes with a lot of complications. Mine didn't work because I got pregnant 5 months after having it. I have a friend who has it and she throws up every day, she can barely drink Water, and she had a recent endoscopy and her band has almost eaten away her stomach on the top.

Thanks for the reply. I have a few friends that have had it and have done well outside of vomiting when they eat too much. The sleeve and RNY scare me.

I had RYN and cannot be happier with my results. I have lost 57lbs in 11 weeks. No complications.

I'm looking for a San Antonio wls buddy. I'm afraid I'm falling off the wagon. It's been 5 months since surgery.





What side of SA are you on?

        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!!
