More than 10 tears

I'm looking for advise to get back on track. It's been about 15 years since my surgery. I'm looking to lose about 10-20 more lbs

What surgery did you have? Some surgeries from a while ago seem to have lived their lifespan and are very hard to get going again, in these instances a revision may be required.

I thought that might be the case. Try going back to focusing on Protein and cut out sliders. Go and see your surgeon and discuss with him/her how to proceed. You may need a fill or infill.

I had the same issues and was told by my surgeon that he didn’t think I would be able to get my band to “ work” again. Apparently they have discovered that they have a limited lifespan and after a while they cause serious issues like oesophageal failure. I was suffering bad reflux with a limited amount of fill but was still hungry and putting on weight.

I revised to RNY in Jan and am very happy. I have lost all my excess weight and my diet is now far healthier than with the band.

My friend with a band needs to get hers out. It has eroded and turned slightly. Better get some tests. Good luck
