I am having my lap band removed and I cannot wait! I was banded November 20, 2008 and did well only for the first couple of months. I have had so many problems and pain that I have been unfilled more than i have been filled--every time that i try to get filled back up i start pb-ing constantly and cant keep anything down--sometimes even water! I have a constant pressure/sharp pain at the site of the band. I am having the band removed and the MGB (mini-gastric-bypass) done by Dr. R in Las Vegas on October 1st and I cannot wait....I am looking for other previously banded that have had this revision! Please if you are out there i would love to hear how your mbg has been and how life is now without the band (since I cannot remember being able to live in comfort!) thank you! Renee :thumbup: (this is my so excited to get this band out of me!)

I just wanted to wish you luck!!

I suppose I'll have to research what a "mini" gastric bypass involves but good luck to you, Nancy.
