True Results?
You revised to the Sleeve right? Why arent' you concerned about all the ppl who are now getting esophageal damage and cancer from all the horrible reflux the Sleeve is now causing in many long term Sleevers? At least with the band it can be removed.
If you posted about both how the Sleeve and the band can cause esophageal problems, then your lies would be a bit more credible.
The research that I've done indicates that if someone "chooses" to keep their lap band too tight for long periods of time, or have other pre-existing esophageal issues, if the band causes issues, the band can be removed and the esophagus goes back to normal.
Reflux can be a problem with the VSG, however it's almost always controlled with meds. I would assume that she is not posting info about reflux with VSG b/c this is the LAPBAND forum and the OP was asking regarding Lapband. Makes sense, right?
As far as your "research" someone choosing to keep the band too tight can cause esophageal problems. Most do not choose to keep their bands too tight though. Those that do choose to keep their bands too tight generally do so b/c it's the only way they are losing weight with the band. Also I will add that some bandsters are still too tight with an empty band b/c of all the scar tissue the their band has caused. So this blame the bandster attitude if really NOT fair and very counter-productive! :-(
Now as far as your statement "if the band causes issues, the band can be removed and the esophagus goes back to normal." Well that is true *sometimes*. For many the damage is permanent. Ask some of the bandsters that have to have stents put in just to be able to get liquids down, or now have permanent feeding tubes for nutrition.
