Hiya all!

I’m after some advice please, if you’ve got any pearls of wisdom then they’d be greatly appreciated! ;0)

i had a lap band put in situ 4 years ago and lost just over 6 stone.. and I felt fabulous!!

Sadly though a year ago I had a car accident that left me with lots of issues.. one of the these being vomiting after eating food.

i had a barium meal which showed I had a slipped band and esophegeal motility issues which was likely caused by the slip.

they removed all of the fill in the band and since then I am still sick when I eat ‘good’ food but I am also hungry all the time because there is no trigger to the brain to stop any more. As a result I have put on over 3 stone due to eating crap because it’s the only thing that stays down... and to be honest, it also cheers me up for all of 30 seconds.

As all of the above clearly spells out, I have not conquered my food demons at all and need something to stop me from putting back on everything I have lost.

This is why I am considering revision surgery for a sleeve instead, but I’d like to know if they are as good as they appear to be. Does anyone have any advice please?

oh, also my BMI is only 30.2 at the moment and so anyone had the surgery done at this BMI as I know they won’t do it under 30.

thanks for reading my essay ;0)

You can eat crap with a sleeve too. So that's something to think about.

Sorry you had a rough time.

I've had my sleeve 7 months and I love it.

my only question would be if the band caused any reflux. if yes, bypass is usually the way to go.
