Banded in Ft Worth in 2012-
I just met with a new surgeon yesterday after having a swallow study. My esophagus is expanding causing reflux, etc.
He unfilled the band and set me up for a follow up swallow study and follow up with him on Aug 15th. We talked about options.
Do I want the sleeve or bypass?
With revision do they make you wait months and months?
Thanks...

You may want to look around on the forum for answers. From what I have read the process to get a revision does not take anywhere near as long as original surgery.

Good luck to you

My surgeon advised that the best option was RNY.

Less risk of reflux.

Less risk of more damage/ issues to the oesophagus.

I also know a lot of people that have revised to a sleeve or had a sleeve as an initial surgery who have not lost or have had massive regains.

I decided to go with my surgeons recommendation and had my revision in Jan. I am very happy. My diet is much healthier than with the band, I don’t spend hours in restaurant toilets throwing up and I have reload the weight I gained and am sitting at goal.
