Has anyone went from band to bypass ?
Was wondering if anyone has went from band to bypass. Had my band done 5 years ago. Done great in the beginning. Still have not gained all my weight back but it is slowly creeping on. Am puking every day, but this is not new. I never told dr because I was afraid he would unfill. Would like to have bypass because I am sick of this ! Any advice ?
Yes. You are likely to find people on the bypass board.
meanwhiie though, don't wait. See your doctor and get some saline out. You should not be puking regularly. Doing so means your band is too tight for whatever reason and you risk permanent damage to your oesophagus.
