Your info says VSG. Are u revising from the band b/c of o or little weight lost???

I am going to revise to gastric sleeve but not till oct. I was just wanting to know if anyone has had the problem I have with my band.I still have the band but things are getting stuck more and have real bad right side chest pain when it happens.

Ps I have only lost 6 pounds in the last 2 and a half years so going to sleeve so I can get rid of the weight.

Rozella I am so sorry to hear that! :-( The band has not worked out well for a lot of us for one reason or another.

U will do much better with VSG! Good luck hun!!!

Thank You

At two years out, I was diagnosed with a slip that needed surgery to fix.  I had probably had the slip for several months at that point.  I just didn't think it was slipped because there were some days that I could eat and drink just fine.  However, on my bad days, I PB'd and slimed a lot, even on water.  I would also have nighttime reflux and wake up choking.  Good luck, I think the sleeve is a great option!

Did you have bad right side chest pain?

No ma'am.  The only pain I suffered was when food got stuck and I the days where I slimed everything.......my chest would get sore after getting rid of slime all day.
