Scheduled to have my band removed and then have bypass surgery. No complications with the band other than I didn't lose the weight I hoped to lose since 2011. Very important that one is prepared to follow the program guidelines to a T...which I did not.

Good Luck to you all and please reach out to ask for help as well as advice to reach the goals you have set for yourself successfully.

I had my band removed one year ago. My surgeon would not do the revision at the same time, which I’m glad as I had complications. I am now 8 days post op with VSG! I really wish I would have went with this originally! Good luck to you.
